<p>Okay, first let me thank everyone in advance who helps out!</p>

<pre><code>Applying with the UC Application for Berkeley and I am having a hard time choosing a major. I know that I want to have a career in computers, probably designing software. I think at this point I am more interested in software than hardware if that helps.

At the College of Letters and Science, there is: Computer Science
</code></pre>

<p>Also offered in the College of Engineering (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, B.S.). B.A.</p>

<p>And at the College of Engineering they have: Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Computer Science is also offered in the College of Letters and Science (Computer Science, B.A.). B.S.<br>
Communications, Networks, and Systems
Computer Science
Computer Systems
Electronics
General</p>

<p>So all of those subjects listed under the engineering school, are they courses I would be taking if I chose that major?</p>

<p>And at Cal Poly, I noticed that they have a software engineering major. Would there be an advantage to this major over computer science? </p>

<p>Thanks so much if you read this and can help out! Feel free to correct me if I was wrong about anything.</p>

<p>They don’t sound like courses - they sound like concentrations, a.k.a. paths you can follow by taking courses in those topics during your college career.</p>

<p>I can’t help you pick a major; it took me way too long to pick one for myself haha</p>

<p>At Berkeley,
choose EECS. Electrical Engineering & Computer Science.
It’s the toughest, but most rewarding.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies.
