In all honesty at your average university a BS in Computer Science is almost worthless. Many people will tell you that they already knew 90% of what was taught to them during their time at a university as an undergraduate before they set one foot in the classroom. For the most part we're talking very basic stuff. I remember some of the other students in my upper level undergraduate classes (including an AI course) being completely perplexed by basic things such as a DOS prompt (this was in the late 90's) or the Unix shell. Others yet were at the senior level and couldn't understand arrays.

Also, one of the tests at a former company involved us putting an open-case computer in front of the job candidate and asking them to point to the hard drive. There were people with Master degrees in CS that couldn't do it.

I believe it.
