I actually really love our major. Courses are definitely updated and tweaked to include new information and strategies by the professors. Advisors are overworked for our department for sure but they definitely pull through with making the course syllabi relevant to our major. The Dornsife school emails students on different opportunities for industrial exposure such as resume workshops, big tech talks, etc.
Fees
The tuition fee is $69,000/year but around $95,200/year total (this includes housing, meal plan, etc)
