Am I correct in understanding that the bachelors in applied CS is all that you offer here? I personally would argue that an advantage of a traditional four year institution is the ability to change majors or even just the focus of a major. For example, I had started school majoring in computer science, and found that it was not for me and that I was actually more interested in math, but from CS coursework, I still had enough to earn a minor in CS, so it wasn't like I had wasted the years prior to switching.

Presently there is a lot of push towards STEM on high schoolers and even non-traditional students (although it's really more like STE since you never see mathed hyped up as much), and those that push for it present it as a quick way to be successful. What would a Make School student really have available to them as options if they found out that CS is not for them? Will their credits transfer easily to other institutions or did they just waste time and money with nothing to show for it?

I'm not trying to come off as combative or overly cynical here, but I do think this is something that should be asked because not everyone who enters a CS program decides to stay in it till the end. There is plenty of changing of majors at the university I work at because there are a lot of students who do discover that CS isn't for them.

Hi Craig, I'm huge fan and so is my mom. She loved the Late Late Show and was super disappointed when you left. I have a couple questions for you if you don't mind answering.

  1. Will Join or Die be appealing to someone who isn't really that into history like my mom?

  2. I saw your tattoo on The Late Show last night and I'm wondering what other tattoos do you have?

  3. Could you please take a picture holding a piece of paper with a message to my mom since she would really appreciate it. She isn't dying or anything just a huge fan.

  4. Will there be aliens in Join or Die because that is obviously what quality History Channel programming is all about.

Not a question, but a relative of mine works at Market Basket preparing the pre-prepared meals. Are you in MA?

Ah well so much for steadily narrowing down the list of locations to the point that we discovered you work in the same store as my relative
