   Even assuming this, why are there so few Master's programs in Software 
   Engineering?  The numbers seem to be DIMINISHING (e.g., our old friend
   the Wang Institute); there are really damn few choices available to
   those who want such a professional degree program.  Many places will
   happily prepare you to be a CS researcher, but few will give you
   the opportunity to pursue a degree in software engineering.
