Computer Engineering in SEAS

Hi CC, I will be an incoming freshman to Columbia next year. I am wondering how tough the computer engineering curriculum is in SEAS? I am thinking of doing pre-med as well, so will my GPA suffer from doing comp. eng.?

I have a friend at Columbia who’s majoring in Computer Engineering. He works hard and is doing very well (3.9 GPA). He’s also having a lot of fun and says it has an interesting liberal arts perspective.

Of course, you’re not hearing from someone with first-hand experience, so take that with a grain of salt. However, if you have a very strong interest in Computer Engineering, then I think you’ll do well because you’ll also enjoy the work. Otherwise, change your major to something else you enjoy.

Hope this helped, and have fun your freshman year!
