<p>Many schools put their CS division in their school of engineering, school of arts and sciences, or both! The school's websites who offer both only say that the class requirements are the same, but the A/S degree is more liberal arts based. </p>
<p>How would this look to grad schools or job resumes? Certainly engineering is more 'prestigious,' but getting into a top engineering schools isn't in my cards. </p>
<p>And why do you think some schools decide to put it in the engineering school (washU) or A/S (JHU).</p>
<p>All that matters is that you take the same CS courses that most other Top-100 schools are taking. I was a Math/CS major and in all 23+ years of being a software engineer, NOT ONE employer ever asked me “did you take CS in the engineering department?”</p>
<p>Mind you, my degree actually says “The College of Natural Sciences confers the B.S. in Computational Mathematics”.</p>
<p>You can conduct a search on my name on here and find out the “usual” set of courses for a typical CS program.</p>
<p>Doesn’t really matter, if you’ve taken the general set of CS courses for jobs. For example, I will be getting a B.A and have a job offer from both Microsoft and Amazon. </p>
<p>The CS classes are usually the same for each. I can’t imagine an employer getting worked up about you taking humanities classes instead of science ones when plenty of them don’t give a care about their employees having CS degrees as long as they can program.</p>
<p>I’m a high school student and I had a question about this regarding admissions. I you apply through Arts and Science do they want you to be more well rounded? and for engineering do they want you to be more science and math oriented?</p>
