<p>Hello! Could anyone explain the difference in terms of education, difficulty, and environment for computer science at the two different Cornell Colleges?</p>
<p>Any feedback will be appreciated! Thank you!</p>
<p>My understanding is that the computer science curriculum is the same, but the distribution requirements for each college are different. </p>
<p>Arts and sciences has an array of requirements that can be filled in a number of different ways. It’s pretty broad and allows you to have both a science and liberal arts education. I’m in CAS and I love it because of how much freedom it gives you to sculpt your own path. The CAS requirements can be found here: <a href=“http://as.cornell.edu/academics/degree-req.cfm”>http://as.cornell.edu/academics/degree-req.cfm</a></p>
<p>Engineering is much more science and math focused, and essentially tells you what classes you have to take. There is still a liberal arts requirement but I’m pretty sure it can be filled in a number of different ways. If you’re really into math and science (calculus, physics, chemistry) and a structured schedule, then engineering is probably better.
