L & S Computer Science

<p>I got into CALS (incoming freshman), and am considering majoring in Comp Sci, in hopes of attending graduate school to get an MBA.</p>

<p>What's the level of difficulty of Comp Sci? Is it comparable to EECS? Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>It's a watered-down version of EECS, but still one of the hardest majors in L&S. They uncapped it recently though so that's good news for you.</p>

<p>It is basically the exact same as EECS CS option.. the only difference is you don't have to take physics 7a-7b and EE20... sure, you get graded on an easier curve for EE40, but come on... everything else is exactly the same. </p>

<p>You still have to struggle through 61 series.. math series... upper div CS..</p>

<p>Yea.. and it is nice now that they OFFICIALLY unimpacted it.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that there are quite a bit less upper division requirements for the B.A. vs. the B.S. as well.</p>

<p>More breadth in humanities, less breadth than techs. CS lower div courses are not graded on a curve. Beware that and love it at the same time. It's generally a lot easier than straight up EECS because you're not exposed to as many weeders and are required to take more humanities to boost your GPA.</p>

<p>Some upper divs are ridiculously easy. Others are not so easy. Overall, I know more people with 4.0 CS than 4.0 EECS focusing on EE.</p>

<p>If you're going for your MBA, pick the easy CS classes and meet minimum requirements and maybe do a double major in business.</p>
