If you like, send me a PM and I can arrange for her to answer your questions. She no longer works there so can be completely unbiased but she knows the school as well as anyone, better than almost anyone.

Hey that's awesome, thank you!

I might as well have taken a course in Attic Greek so that I would have a handle on all of the dead languages.

Haha, actually I still see some Cobal and C/C++ in their current courses.

Funny you should mention that. They have a new major starting up called "Enterprise Computing" that deals with RPG... among other things. It actually sounds pretty interesting, but I don't know what the major companies are still using. The program seems very IBM-influenced.
I'd love to be able to break into oil and gas, and if this is the kind of stuff the big companies are using (Encana, etc), then maybe that's the route I should go.
