<p>Hey everyone so I plan on majoring in computer science and for this major, you can either apply to the College of Engineering, or the College of Arts & Sciences. I was wondering if that the only difference really is the types of courses you take.</p>
<p>Also, Which college would be easier to get into??? Thanks</p>
<p>The only difference is the common courses required by each major. In CAS you’ll have to take a foreign language and meet the history breadth and depth requirements, for example, while in Engineering you’ll have to take chem, physics, ENGRIs, etc.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that Engineering still has a liberal studies requirement (18 credits) and that CAS still requires some math and science so it’s up to you. If you have AP/transfer credit that can get rid of some of the core requirements you should probably pick the one that lets you take the least number of non-CS classes.</p>
<p>thank youu! Do you know which would be easier to get into?</p>
<p>Do you know which would be a better fit for you?</p>
<p>well I don’t really want to take too many math classes, but i don’t want many history classes either. I can’t stand history. So i would lean more towards engineering, but I want to take foreign language too so I’m unsure.</p>
<p>Look up the distribution requirements exactly for each college.</p>
