CS (L&S) vs. EECS (CoE)

If you switch into EECS, you’d need to take EE 40 and 20N rather than EE 42. Aside from those two courses, you can pretty much take all the same courses you would’ve taken as an L&S student.

<p>EECS also requires Physics 7A/7B and another science course (not one of the joke ones) and Math 53 that L&S CS do not require.</p>

Also keep in mind that the CoE has a much more lenient general ed requirement than L&S.

<p>This isn’t true for all students. CoE does not let students use AP credit to fulfill R&C B, and requires that some of the humanities and social studies courses be upper division.</p>

<p>The biggest reason to switch to EECS instead of L&S CS is if you want to concentrate on EE and do not want to take at least six upper division CS courses.</p>
