Anecdotal, but the CS program overtook the business school at the University of Washington a few years back, my alma matter.
I remember when I was there, the CS classes were for NERDS and now here we are, everyone wants in.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoUW CSE has always been supply constrained, not demand constrained. Even back more than 20 years ago when I entered the program.

- ido 8y agoI remember when I was there, the CS classes were for NERDS and now here we are, everyone wants in. When was that? I went to school in 2002 and CS at the time was already well past the “just for nerds” phase - I would guess that happened some time in the late 90s.
