Computer science BA in Arts & Science

Would love any insight into the BA comp science program at CU Boulder. My son does not want to be in the engineering school and it seems like the BA program takes a bunch of same classes as the BS program in engineering. Would like to possibly do a minor in the TAM program which seems to be good fit with classes in game design, animation, computer graphics all of great interest to him. Do they also factor in 1st semester senior year grades?

It depends when your son applies to CU, whether they will see first semester grades. Many Coloradans apply in September and get admitted before Christmas, so in that case, no. If you wait until late December to apply, then they will see your fall semester grades, but the admissions answer comes very late as the school gets overwhelmed with applications in December, and things go slowly after that.
