Computer Science

Honestly, Emory CS has been very enjoyable. Although my math classes got stressful, I adapted and learned so much. All the CS professors at Oxford and Emory want you to succeed, and if you put in the effort for a class, it will reflect. My advice would be to form relationships with professors and just have fun! You will learn so much, just do your best.

Computer Science is better for me because I don't do well with qualitative work and prefer to work more with mathematics and logic.

The initial workload and assignments is high per week and the minimal support makes the time spent on each task much longer.

Yes its hard but im into mathematics and find a good mental challenge enjoyable. Plus its more of a major where your skills dont get overshadowed by your ability or lack of ability to sell yourself

Computer Science is definitely much harder. Even so, do what YOU want, not what other people want you to do.

Emory University's computer science department focuses heavily on concepts and theory rather than real-world applications. If your goal is to enter the tech industry instead of attending graduate school, you must actively seek out practical experience on your own.

Emory is a great place to learn. I think the career center useless. And you really gotta try to make it out

Highly competitive job market, you either cash out with a 6 figure + job or you go unemployed.

This major used to have very good career prospects for sure and bo one would doubt that. but with ai agent now… if you are optimistic about ai replacing human, you can try it.

I wouldn’t recommend it at this school. They don’t invest in CS, all post grad prospects were by me, not by the school.

A lot of CS programs focus on the algorithms and theory, but less so on important skills that are necessary for working in industry (if that's your goal). You can learn basic CS theory independently without going to university. The upsides of CS are the communities and connections you make, but less so the classes that you're going to take.

A lot of computer science graduates at Emory either pursue continuing education or end up at an industry software engineering or information technology role, usually within the Atlanta metro area.

The class quality is not bad, it's pretty good and definitely manageable. However, they have almost the bare minimum of a CS curriculum. They've recently started getting more variety of classes like computer vision and compiler construction, but it's still missing a lot of different topics like security or networking. Since Emory's not a target school, it's difficult in the job market. Emory also lacks a huge CS community or alumni network that can be helpful during recruiting. On the flip side, this means every student has a ton of opportunities to make great impact through club leadership or research labs because there's always space for more CS students. The people are great and very supportive. Essentially, it's really what you make of it and you can succeed in this field from Emory.
