<p>I am a CC transfer student and my major is CS(L&S). I choose CS but not EECS because I am not interested in the hardware very much and I think two years is not enough to learn about both EE and CS. My CC course pattern allow me to apply for EECS but I just didn't. </p>
<p>It is hard to give too much details, but I feel like some people in UCB think CS is not so good as EECS when I went to orientation last week. Maybe I just got the wrong feeling. </p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>No, EECS does not really better than CS.</p>
<p>^Win. (10 char)</p>
<p>Uhm, what is CS and EECS?</p>
<p>Welcome to CC, sushifiend.</p>
<p>CS stands for Computer Science.
EECS stands for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.</p>
<p>The main difference is really in the curriculum and the fact that CS (L&S) is not ABET approved while EECS is. </p>
<p>CS has more breadth while EECS has more technical courses.</p>
<p>Does ABET approval matter a lot for job prospects and the like?</p>
<p>Sorry for the double-posting, but it seems like ABET approval doesn’t matter all that much for job prospects (see <a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Statistics.stm[/url]”>https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Statistics.stm</a> ). Anyone want to comment on grad school?</p>
<p>You will get a BA and not a BS!!! Oh no the horror. I swear like a hundred of these forums pop up. Hahaha just look at the similar threads at the bottom.</p>
<p>CS is Computer Science
EECS is Electronic Engineering and Computer Science</p>
<p>Side note:
CS is rarely/never used to refer to Cognitive Science (which has some overlap with Computer Science). Cognitive Science is abbreviated simply as Cog Sci</p>
