Incoming Senior at AHS, Scouting on the Best School for Computers

[SouthSuzaku]

I'm an incoming senior choosing to trek on the career of Computer Science or Technology.

Does the Ateneo College provide good Computer Courses? What kinds of Computer Courses are available? Are they that good?

Other than Ateneo, what are good schools for computers that provide a good curriculum?

[Nijinsky]

There are many computer-related courses in the Ateneo that you can select from such as:

BS Computer Science
BS Management Information Systems
BS Mgt Communications Technology.
BS Electronics & Communications Engineering
BS Applied Math / Major in Computational Science
BS Physics / Applied Computer Systems
BS Chemistry / Applied Computer Systems
AB Fine Arts / Multimedia Arts

etc.
etc.
etc.

Here are some examples of the awards won by Ateneo Computer Science and MIS students.

And many, many more.

[atenean_blooded]

You're from AHS? I'm from AHS too.

Attend the Ateneo Loyola Schools.

[SouthSuzaku]

What do you mean Attend the Loyola Schools?

What year are you? Are you in the same batch? or a Teacher, Staff or younger batch?

Just Askin' :)

[SouthSuzaku]

Any place where I could check on the available courses of each school in Metro Manila?

Which is the most practical in the genre of computer courses? Which is like the combination of business and computers?

Sorry, not that learned about the college courses and everything. I am still confused of which course im taking... haay.

Thanks by the way for your replies. :)

[Exterminator]

Both MIS and Mgt ComTech combine computer and business courses.

If you want a more software orientation or pure CS, then take up CS.

If you want a more theoretical perspective, then take up Comp. Eng., Physics/ACS or Chemistry/ACS.

If you want a more theoretical and hardware orientation, ECE would be a good choice for you.

[atenean_blooded]

Tama. Ibebenta ko ang Ateneo!

Magtatayo na rin ako ng Marketing and Communications Office para sa Ateneo!

Parang la salle!

[atenean_blooded]

SouthSukazu:

Take your college studies at the Ateneo. :)

I graduated a few years ago. I'm taking up my business studies at the JGSOM. :)

OFF TOPIC:

Wala bang Marketing and Communications office sa Ateneo? Alam ko meron eh..

Ok, back to the Topic;

Try DLSU or UP.

[SouthSuzaku]

Any students currently studying in these courses below as mentioned by exterminator?

Which of these would be the best in terms of the success by the people who studied any of the courses above?

I like business with a combination of both software and hardware orientation. Which is best?

I'm confused at all these courses kasi.. hehehe
:)

[Attila]

In terms of your stated preference, I would recommend MIS or Mgt ComTech. MIS is being handled by the Department of Computer Science and Info Systems, which is under the School of Sicence and Engineering. Mgt. ComTech is being handled by the School of Management. Take your pick.

[kimiraikkonen]

DLSU-CCS ka na lang/.

Wala.

[juantwothree123]

Ateneo or UP.

basta never go to that school along taft and espanya. mahirap na. AMA or STI na lang. :)

Good Luck!

[nerdox]

Scout DLSU's Comsci.

I wouldn't need to plug nor argue about DLSU CCS once you see it for yourself. It wouldn't really hurt if you would take the DLSUCET, and take the pre-confirmation orientation so you could take a tour of the campus and have a briefing.

Then you be the judge.

[lakitabadaga]

MIS! MIS! MIS!

[utopianreceiver]

I've seen most of you are recommending MIS. Does the MIS course produce good job offerings after gradation?

Thanks.

[bishop]

^ yeah MIS grads have great representation in the IT industry as Software Engineers, Network Administrators or Assistants, even programmers.

[boredtoday]

yeah, MIS. ;)

[juan23_twothree]

BS Physics - Applied Computer Systems. :)
MIS too.
