Double Major or Specialization Different Situation

<p>So here is my situation, I'm graduation the next term but I have to decide between: Double Major in Computing Science and Mathematical Sciences or Specialization in Computing Science with Math
The problem is that currently I have enough credits for both, no difference at all with the curses that I need to take. I have more credits in Computing Science than in Mathematical and admission for both programs, but I have to decide which one I want.
So, If I go for Specialization, I have the doubt of maybe Im loosing the Math part of my degree, I mean because I almost have the same amount of Math and Computing courses.
On the other hand, The same happens if I decide to go for a double major, I think I might be loosing that extra push take you have to do in order to go for an specialization.
Also, I'm not totally sure if there exists a Bsc. Specialization in Computing Science Major in Mathematical Sciences so I might have to settle in one of them. </p>

<p>Personally, I see myself working in something related in Computing Science rather than Mathematics. But A major in Mathematical Sciences complements a Major in Computing Science.</p>

<p>Please, help me decide which one would be best for trying to score a job in Computing Science or which one sounds better at the end.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>If you are looking for an industry software job, consider including courses in algorithms, operating systems, networks, software engineering, databases, and security to cover concepts most commonly used in industry. Other courses, like compilers, graphics, user interfaces, and computer architecture can be useful in some areas of work.</p>

<p>Without knowing the difference between major and specialization at your school, it is difficult to figure out what it really means.</p>

<p>What Specialization means in my university is just keeping a higher gpa and taking more courses in an specific area. In my case, I already took all the need courses for a Specialization in Computing Science but I also have enough credits to go for a Double major, Comp/Math.
The only difference that it has to me is that when I graduate I either graduate with a Bsc in Science with Specialization in CompSci (with math) or with a Bsc in Science in Comp and Math.</p>

<p>I doubt anyone outside of your university knows (or cares about) the difference between a specialization and a major. I would take the double major.</p>
