I need some advice maybe from people who have gotten their degrees and know stuff about computer programming degrees and what employers look for. I want to talk to some different companies about getting a computer programming degree at this college and if its good or not. If you know some large companies that I could search for I'd appreciate it.
The reason I'm having trouble is I read this article on my college and it being sued for misleading its students. Apparently people would get their associates there and try to transfer to another college and none of their credits would transfer over. Apparently they were told they would have no problem transfering. I was planning on getting my bachelor's in Computer Information Science. Very computer programming heavy, I'm told. I just started there so I haven't spent a lot of money. I'm concerned because if their associates degrees are worthless when transfering to other colleges, then how good are their bachelors and stuff for getting good jobs? The college is Florida Metropolitan University or FMU.
Not sure if companies would take the time to tell me if a degree at this college would be worth hiring or not. I believe its ACICS accredited. The level of school there is very low. The hardest math on their placement test was dividing fractions no algebra. I think any middle schooler could probably have passed their test. Also the classes, even though I'm only in the first 2, are suspiciously easy.
Anyways any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I'm young and a little unknowledgable about this stuff and don't really know anyone to ask. I feel like if I ask the school they won't tell me the truth.

Since LQ is using mod_rewrite to do the fancy SEO friendly URLs (not-sure-my-college-is-good-for-programming-615484), and since Google lurves this, this page will get indexed and the links in his sig will get looked at as well. Just as if LQ sponsored a link to those pages.
It's a dirty trick, but done all the time.
A good way to mess with this crap would be to filter outgoing links through the LQ domain. Wouldn't worry about that unless you see a lot more people doing it.

But the sig is not shown to those users not logged in. So the search engine will not index those links (since it won’t see them).
