College of Creative Studies??

<p>I am currently a senior in high school, and I was admitted to UCSB as Pre-Mathematics Major. Although I was admitted as Pre-Mathematics, I am more interested in Computer Science (I love math too). I noticed CCS offers Computer Science (CS) too, so I thought about doing double-major at CCS- computer science & mathematics. However, I am still not sure if I should apply to CCS. I am also thinking about just going as regular Pre-mathematics at College of Letters & Science and applying to CS courses at College of Engineering (to eventually switch my major to CS at College of Engineering). So here are my options:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Go as Pre-mathematics to College of Letters & Science and sign up for CS courses at College of Engineering to eventually switch my major to CS</p></li>
<li><p>Apply to CCS mathematics & CCS computer science for double-major</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Which one do you guys recommend? Pros & Cons?
Which option prepares well for graduate school (probably for CS) & job? or possibly even for a transfer?
What are the differences between CCS courses & courses from other colleges?</p>

<p>You should call the CCS office and talk to them about the feasibility of what you are suggesting. From what I’ve heard they are very approachable to prospective students.</p>

<p>As for changing into the college of engineering, it is very difficult. You might be the exception, but it’s better to assume that that is not going to happen.</p>
