From the article:
Students are being recruited by Google, Apple, Microsoft, and other high-tech companies, as well as financial firms.
Dianna Xu, computer science department chair at Bryn Mawr, recalled a conversation she overheard among seniors last year.
“One student said, ‘Oh, Facebook is offering me $120 or $130K a year, and they’re giving me $100,000 start-up cash. Should I take it?’” Xu said. “The rest of the students go, ‘No, no, wait for a better offer.’”
The Computer Science Department at ҵis founded on the belief that computer science should transcend being a subfield of mathematics and engineering and play a broader role in all forms of human inquiry. The Computer Science Department is supported jointly by faculty at both ҵand Haverford Colleges. The department welcomes students who wish to pursue a major in computer science. Additionally, the department offers a minor in computer science, a minor in computational methods, and a concentration in computer science (at Haverford College).
