<p>It's a certain type of CS. I know regular CS is great. Here is my dilemma though: University of Houston offers 3 different CS "options."</p>
<pre><code>Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with business option,
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with science option, or
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with software design option.
</code></pre>
<p>I really want the business option because it would help my indecisiveness (couldn't decide between CS and business). Not to mention, I am the closest to fulfilling the business one anyway, since I already have some business classes out of the way. It still has basically all the math classes the other two have (up to discrete math and linear algebra), but lacks physics: <a href="http://www.cs.uh.edu/docs/cosc/COSC%20Flowchart.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.cs.uh.edu/docs/cosc/COSC%20Flowchart.pdf</a> </p>
<p>I am just wondering though, will employers look down because I didn't go with the science or software option? Would it be better just to go with CIS, MIS, or finance (my fallback degrees)? Thank you for any help. :)</p>
<p>No, but substituting CS classes with business classes will probably make you worse at programming.</p>
<p>Well what do you want to do with your degree? Do you want do be a software developer, or be a manager on the business side of it, or what? If you want to actually program for a living or you want to be a software engineer, then skip the business program. However, if you want to manage or be in sales, then I would do the one with the business minor. Personally though, I think that the best one out of all of those degrees is the one with the emphasis in software development.</p>
<p>Also, ask in the CS dept what jobs graduates with the different options have received after graduation.</p>
<p>What would you be missing out on (which courses?) by going he business route rather than the other routes? Are any of these tracks ABET-CAC accredited? If so, are all of them?</p>
<p>To me, managing and sales sounds more interesting.</p>
<p>All 3 options differ in about three classes. Science option has physics 1 and 2, calculus 3, and 3 hours of a higher math course. Software design option has a few extra COSC classes. Business has a few accounting and MIS classes.</p>
<p>And good idea, Trilliums! I’ll make sure to ask.</p>
