<p>Whats the difference?</p>
<p>A lot of money depending on where you live! If you are a NY state resident, you pay the in state tuition price because CALS is a contract college (about $22,000 tuition) where as COE is not a contract college so all students pay tuition of $39,000.</p>
<p>My understanding is that the curriculum is essentialy the same and the last 2 years all of your classes are in COE any way. I think CALS does have a language requirement that COE does not. And AP credit policies may differ slightly. </p>
<p>You can search the threads on this topic–there are lots of previous threads that address this well and in greater detail.</p>
<p>hmm interesting. I’m not a NY resident tho so that wouldn’t help.
Also i’m sure that at CALS you would have a much harder time switching to another engineering major if you wanted to.</p>
<p>another question i have tho is with the subject tests requirements for both schools. CoE requires a math and science subject tests while CALS doesnt require any. I have an 800 in Math II but am pretty worried about my Bio test coming in October…Itd be great if i wouldnt have to submit it if i wanted to go to CALS for BioEng</p>
<p>Also, does Cornell participate in Score-Choice? i couldnt find this on their website…</p>
<p><em>facepalm</em> i just found it, cornell doesnt use score choice…darn</p>
<p>If you wanted to change to another engineering major, you’d have to transfer to COE first.</p>
