What is the reputation of Syracuse university in US?

Cuse has an AMAZING reputation that is nothing short of stellar especially on the east coast. Program wise Newhouse, Whitman, and the iSchool have all stood at the forefront of their respective fields. The abroad program is one of the best in the nation....fully integrated into the curriculum. It's expansive and many other schools go aboard via SU. The campus is beautiful and is remarkably well kept...you should follow the Instagram account and take a look :). Otherwise there's a lot to do on campus...can't go wrong with a reputable school that not only gives you the exhilarating experience of the 'big university' feel matched with its famous D1 program for sports. Don't know if sports is your thing but either way it's pretty freaking cool to attend games as an undergrad and then have the experience of rooting for your school on TV as an alum. Lastly, it's also a great party school ;). All depends on what type of your experience you're looking for. Program wise and reputation wise it's nothing short of a semi Ivy. Rafael Balbi Cuse 11'

To add more till 2013, the School of information at Syracuse university ranked #1 in US in the course of Information Management ..

I contemplated on joining Electrical, completed Computer Engineering in Software track in 2012 and had a good bunch of classmates I studied with in the Hardware track and my undergrad was in Electronics. I have matured enough to understand everything is perspective and is worth/not worth doing. So instead let me comment on some of the features and then about the good and bad of computer engineering/science in SU. SU in not ivy league hence the research and funding which is very pertinent and necessary for a good school in Engineering is limited and concentrated in certain fields. Research in conventional Electrical engineering fields such as DSP, power electronics etc are limited . There was some projects/research going on power grid and couple of others that I dont recollect.This was in 2012. So do your research here. Also east coast does not have as many electrical/hardware jobs as west. Computer science has had a couple of streams where it has had some research funding. Security and artificial intelligence as I remember in 2012. However relative to hardware there are more jobs on software on east coast. So long story short computer-science and engineering are more sought out in SU than electricals.(EE).. Now coming back to job, as indicated by people SU is a name most employer in east coast would know of but dont expect Cornell or Columbia like Ivy league red carpets. You will need to fight the location (up-state NY location and not New-york city) in addition. But on the bright side most company advertise in orange jobs (SU job site). During/after getting a job you will see SU alumni in most companies here, which should help you network. On the other side, you will understand/learn and enjoy a lot of basketball small talks . Will pick up a winter sport or 2 and probably end up not hating snows and winter as much. I loved my 2 years at SU. I learnt a lot of things from something which looks so simple like pouring beer, with no froth and skiing to spending nights writing my own scheduler algorithm for my OS course and debugging the random case where it crashed just for a perfect assignment score.

I am a SU grad BSIE 1971.  My degree has stood me well over the years.  I use many of the things I learned there over and over in closed systems analysis. SU enjoys a solid brand name recognition among employers and industry people . Politically, it swings pretty far left, a position I relished at the time but I regret in my later years, What are your alternatives?

I attended Syracuse University in '70 and '71.  Did not finish.  I was in over my head both intellectually and socially.  I had come from a very sheltered childhood and got caught up in the social aspect of Syracuse, more than the educational aspect.  However, I learned an immense amount about life in general.  Syracuse was involved with all social hot buttons at the time: civil rights, abortion rights, drug culture and the war in Viet Nam.  I drank the social experience in.  There were sitins, rioting, demonstrations, lectures, etc on all the preceding subjects.  It totally opened my mind and transformed me into what I am today.  I will never regret it.  Neither did I regret that I never graduated. However, later in life, I did pursue education with a relish and ended up with 4 degrees over a 14 year period later in life.  So I cherish my experiences there and have never regretted it.  It set me up for life...for life.

Up until last year, Syracuse University was a member of the AAU, the American Association of Universities (which includes Canada), the most prestigious research universities in the US and Canada. Syracuse dropped out because it fell below the guidelines of the group for private to public research funding. More public is better, for some reason. I also have a graduate degree from Syracuse, and out here on the west coast, it has an incredible reputation. I actually kind of laugh, because although I think I'm always biased about the Cuse, I know it's not Pac-12 level academics. That being said, Syracuse fits in the top 100 national universities. It has some outstanding programs in engineering, political science, and other fields. It's a small school, so grad students get a lot of chances to teach. And it's always on TV because half of ESPN (maybe I exaggerate) are alumni. Also, about half of Hollywood (again, I might exaggerate a bit) are Syracuse alumni, so there's always amusing little references to Syracuse in movies and TV. Although it doesn't matter much anymore, because my resume is based on what I've done since grad school, rather than the name of the school, I have gotten interviews from executives because I went there. Those interviews are generally all about the basketball season. One last thing, just to warn you. It's the only place I know where the old joke, "I walked uphill both ways to class in 2 feet of snow" is actually true. It snows a ton. It's a good school. It's very Ivy-league in feeling. It is competitive. You will do well in life with a graduate degree from Syracuse. And it's pronounced Sah-ra-cuse. Just a warning.

I graduated from Syracuse, MS computer science and I worked in the Bay Area . I personally feel MS Computer science program to be pretty decent, depends on what other schools you are applying. On campus Placements wise you get few options other than that you have to look on your own. But if you do good courses and maintain a healthy GPA you should be fine.

I was in the iSchool (before it was called iSchool) in the late 90s and from a college to job transition standpoint, it prepared me fairly well for the real world problems faced as a young startup employee. The combo of tech + biz and using a case study based approach to planning and problem solving was really strong from a foundation standpoint.

I Am A 1978 Graduate Of SU's Newhouse School. I Concur With All Of These Responses: Faculty, Facilities, Diversity, Extra-curricular Activities. It Was All Amazing. The SU Name Truly Was An Advantage Applying For My First Few Jobs. I Have Found That More Of My Classmates Ended Up Working In Their Field Of Study Than Those From Other Schools. Drawbacks?
