<p>So, I was accepted today and my status page says this:</p>

<p>Your Admission Summary
Level: Freshman
Major: Computer Science & Engineering
School: Interdisciplinary Program </p>

<p>Isn't interdisciplinary program for cultural studies and not related at all to CSE? What should I do?</p>

<p>No, CSE is indeed within the Interdisciplinary Program:
2008-09</a> UCI Catalogue: Interdisciplinary Studies</p>

<p>Interdisciplinary simply means your major belongs to two or more school. For CSE, you're in both the School of Computer Science and School of Engineering.</p>

<p>ahh i see thanks evera</p>

<p>So is Interdisciplinary Comp Sci w/ Eng different from EECS? How so?</p>

<p>Here's an explanation of the CS&E major from the ICS web site:</p>

<p>undergraduate</a> degree in computer science and engineering @ the bren school of information and computer sciences</p>

<p>And here's its listing in the School of Engineering:</p>

<p>Bachelor</a> of Science in Computer Science and Engineering</p>

<p>Basically, when Information and Computer Science became a separate school (it once was a department in the School of Engineering), they decided to keep CS&E a joint (or interdisciplinary) degree. Computer Engineering stayed in the School of Engineering.</p>
