Computerworld, one of the computer
industry’s leading trade publications, rated the Robinson College of
Business as one of the top 10 innovative programs on its list of “IT
Schools to Watch,” which appeared in the August 18 print and online
editions. Other schools listed include Carnegie Mellon, Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, Stanford University and the University of
Pennsylvania. Robinson College was the only program in Georgia to make
the list.
By way of introducing the top 10
institutions, Computerworld reported, “These leading-edge graduate
schools are moving at the pace of the workplace, delivering coursework
that’s relevant to today’s IT professionals.” The magazine based its
results on hard data, along with surveys of corporate recruiters and
MBA program representatives.
Dr. Ephraim McLean, Regents’ Professor and
the George E. Smith Eminent Scholar’s Chair of Robinson’s Computer
Information Systems Department, called the listing “most gratifying,
particularly since it recognizes how we are in step with what is
happening in the fast-paced IT world and how well we are preparing the
next generation of technology leaders.”
