<p>So I thought I would major in Computer Science, and I have been taking comp sci classes...which basically consist of software engineering...So the two separate majors kinda threw me off a little.</p>
<p>So...</p>
<p>What are the major differences between the two majors?
Which do companies like better?</p>
<p>Any help would be awesome!</p>
<p>Mission San Jose, huh?</p>
<p>I’m at Monta Vista myself, lol. CS is a lot more theoretical, whereas Software engineering is 100% high level software applied to develop solutions. I feel CS is definitely broader than simply Software Engineering, so its up to you as to what you want.</p>
<p>UCI Comp department (Bren) also has you specialize your degree - so be sure to check the current catalogue. You can download it here. <a href=“UCI General Catalogue Archives”>http://www.editor.uci.edu/catalogue/12-13Catalogue.pdf</a> The Computer Dept. stuff begins on page 344 and the specialization for a CS degree info appears on page 356 under the title “Undergraduate Major in Computer Science.”</p>
<p>I’d recommend you read through all this info to help you narrow what you want to do and then be sure to talk to a department counselor FREQUENTLY - this will keep you on track, keep you from missing classes or taking classes that you don’t need.</p>
