I'm also a 2007 alum, and I steered clear of CS as an undergraduate because of the confusing organization you describe above. If that organization wasn't so confusing, I would have tried CS out (vs. the econ BA I hold right now and the MSCS I'm working on now).
The department may have problems, but shutting down research throws the baby out with the bathwater. Degree consolidation would go a long way to improving student enrollment.
- dfranke 15y agoIt's not obvious that they're actually "shutting down" any research, though. They seem just to be moving it under the aegis of other departments.
- k3dz 15y agoAll faculty members that remain in CISE will have to stop their research program and focus only on teaching. About 50% of the faculty will be able to continue their research in other departments. They will also be stopping all departmental TA support. The proposal is here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwzZsds2XcGnMWFpcnFiNEhvQkk/edit?pli=1 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwzZsds2XcGnMWFpcnFiNEhvQkk/...
- aggronn 15y agoI'm about to graduate from UF's eco department. How is your MSCS program treating you? I'm likely going down a similar route. Also, just a department update: the our department accepted its last PhD class for the foreseeable future this year because of money and declining faculty. Denslow is retiring after this semester.
