<p>Hi, I am a prospective undergraduate, I know that in the EECS department there are two types of degrees, ECE and CSE, my question is that after completing the prerequisites, Can I take both of the upper division courses to get a dual degree? Is it hard to complete in 4 years? especially when you have only credits in Cal BC. Will I get 2 degrees after completing them? Thank you!</p>
<p>"ECE: The ECE Program (Electrical Engineering) is best suited for students interested in focusing on Electrical Engineering upper division classes after completing the lower division requirements. The transcripts of ECE students indicate that their degree is from the Electrical and Computer Engineering program. There are no specific requirements for the ECE program beyond those of the EECS major.</p>
<p>CSE: The CSE Program (Computer Science) is best suited for students interested in focusing on Computer Science upper division classes after completing the lower division requirements. The transcripts of students in CSE indicate that their degree is from the Computer Science and Engineering Program. In order to complete the CSE program, 16 units of the major’s upper division units must come from CS courses."</p>

<p>There’s not really a difference between the two, and they’re both EECS, so uh, highly unlikely. But there’s nothing to stop you from taking as many EE/CS classes as you desire. Remember that it’s just the notation on the degree, it doesn’t have too much effect on coursework, apart from whether you lean more towards EE or CS… and you’re free to take tons of classes in both.</p>
<p>But will I able to take both degrees in ECE and CSE?</p>
<p>I think it’s a specialization, so regardless of whether you finish both or not, you still just get a major in EECS. </p>
<p>thanks</p>
