Doesn't matter. 90% of what they teach you in university is useless in the job market. The only reason people still go through university is because companies ask for degrees. CS or CCE degrees are interchangeable in job requirements, as long as you have a tech degree you'll get a chance at the technical interview to prove your skills, so just pick whatever looks more interesting to you, keeping in mind the whole time that the material itself is useless and you need to build a portfolio in the mean time with side projects that you can share. The requirements in the market are completely different than what you will be taught in Uni.
Yeah, Majoring in computer science requires you to put a lot of effort into improving your skills and be up-to-date with everything on your own.
GeorgeN wrote I graduated AUST in computer science so I can give you feedback on that. It's horrible, boring, outdated, completely impractical. Almost every lecture was 45 minutes of trash slides with 0 value. I hated every single day and thanked the heavens the day I graduated and was finally done with that prison.
Sadly it's still the same, boring with slides that provide zero value. It's honestly disappointing because I had high expectations since it's ABET-accredited and looking at older Reddit comments/posts, many people praise its educational quality. I'm thinking of switching to LIU or some other cheap uni to save 7-8k because it's probably going to be the same shit just cheaper.

If I could redo things I would not have studied in Lebanon, but picked one of the EU countries that offers free / very cheap uni education like Sweden or Germany. Good luck.
Do you've any referrals on how to apply for said countries? I've currently $10-15k saved up with the help of my parents of course. or is it too late to apply?
Also, if you don't mind asking; How is AUST's degree holding up? Did it ever give you an advantage over other university graduates? Did you apply for a job/master's degree abroad? If so, how did it go? Unless you never intended to leave Lebanon. Thanks!
