How do I locate a college with a good computer systems department?
The way you sort out anything – by doing your research. Ask high school counselors, college counselors, and recent graduates. Your local library and the Internet are also great sources of information. You can purchase The College Handbook (available at your local bookstore), that lists all 4-year and 2-year colleges, and all their majors. Once you compile your ‘long list’ of possible colleges, you can turn it into a ‘short list’ by checking out the different schools’ catalogues. If they are not available online, contact the Admissions Offices for the catalogues you need to see. When you talk to people in the Admissions Department for a school, ask for some names of teachers in their Computer Science or CIS department. Then, make an appointment to chat with those people by phone.
