CS/CSE at UCD vs Math CS at UCSD

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

<p>So, I want to do CS (Computer Science) in college. I got accepted to CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) at UC Davis. I also got accepted to UCSD, but not to my first choice major, CS, and I know that there’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to switch to it. If I go to UCSD, I’ll probably switch to math CS if I can’t switch to CS. </p>

<p>So, a few questions concerning CS/CSE at UC Davis and math CS at UCSD:</p>

<ol>
<li>Which one should I do if I want to do CS? Because math CS is mostly math from what I can tell…</li>
<li>Which one has better employment prospects if I want to get a CS job? </li>
<li>Which one has better employment prospects overall? </li>
</ol>

<p>It’s like splitting hairs. I give UCSD much stronger program but my reservation is whether the Math CS is stronger than CS at UCSD. UCD is closer to Silicon Valley which is a plus.</p>

<p>are you in engineering at SD or is that Letters and Sciences? Because if the latter, I’d say definitely go to Davis. I’d probably go there anyhow just because I like college towns at college, but that would make it pretty clear cut to me.</p>
