<p>which one does the school have better programs in? computer science or computer engineering (they have it as an EE emphasis i think)?</p>
<p>hmm does anyone know?</p>
<p>I don’t think computer science majors have to take chemistry. That’s a plus in my book. LOL!</p>
<p>i need some guidance on this…any help is appreciated!</p>
<p>im taking ap chem now btw</p>
<p>AFAIK Comp. Science, being in the College of Engineering, has the same prerecs are CompEngr. so that’s all equal.</p>
<p>ok…but i was looking to get some info from, say, a CS major…i guess there arent that many of those here? :(</p>
<p>I seem to meet more people majoring in computer science than computer engineering. Computer engineering includes a computer science component along with the electrical engineering component (CE is officially an option/track for electrical engineering majors), while computer science has an option for a minor in computer science.</p>
<p>AFAIK, electrical engineering (and thus its computer engineering option) is one of the less common majors for engineers at UA. That’s not to say that it wouldn’t be a good major for you, it’s just less common for students to choose. I encourage your to further look into the differences between the two majors and others offered by the College of Engineering or other UA colleges. I realize that course sequencing is very important in the College of Engineering, but I would highly recommend that you take courses common to both majors and see which major you like better.</p>
<p>Some would argue that a Computer Engineering degree is more marketable then Comp Sci.</p>
<p>SEA_Tide…I think EE is the largest of the Eng’g majors. …but maybe I’m wrong…I’ll see if I can come up with some numbers.</p>
<p>DS is a CS Major, but just started this fall so I don’t have much input. His classes are challenging, small, and he loves it… no help I know :)</p>
<p>very cool…thank you guys!</p>
