<p>Hi, I was hoping somebody could give me a little insight on SEAS.</p>
<p>Is undergrad engineering at UVa overshadowed by the graduate program (that seems to be the case at some of the top engineering schools)? Am I more likely to have TA's/grad students teaching my classes than actual profs?</p>
<p>I'm hoping to major in CS, but I believe I'll have to do a bit of a general engineering education before I can get into CS, is that right? And if there are any CS students out there, I'd be interested as to what you have to say about the program.</p>
<p>Actually as of this year, you can now get a Bachelors in Computer Science in the College of Arts & Sciences, so you don't have to deal w/ all the Engineering courses.</p>
<p>I've heard that and I've considered that as well; however, I'm still interested in engineering in general, so I think CS through the Engineering school might be a good fit.</p>
<p>Also, this may be a generalization, but wouldn't a BS in CS look better than a BA?</p>
<p>The BA in CS is just the BS without the required chemistry, Physics and Applied Math courses. You still have to take college's gen ed requirement.</p>
<p>All classes in the E-School are taught by professors except for a few 4th hour Applied Math session and most recitiation classes.</p>
<p>P.S. Prof Horton is an unorganized professor and CS 216 is a NIGHTMARE! Note my location.</p>
