<p>I already have a lot of credits (too much to transfer right now) and will be going to LSA next year for CS, trying to get into Ross for the next year. Will this take me 5 years considering I have no CS experience? or will the plethora of other credits I have cut a significant amount of time off?</p>
<p>I'm just hoping to get it done in 4 years considering that's the minimum amount of time for people in Ross</p>
<p>Why would want to get a BBA and study computer science? If you get solid grades in Computer Science, then top employers will be begging to hire you anyway. And if you ever wanted to transfer to less programming/quant roles, you could get an MBA down the road. </p>
<p>Also, if you are studying Computer Science, taking it in the engineering college would expose you to more OCR.</p>
<p>I’m thinking about going into trading or finance but I figured that computer sciences would keep my quantitative abilities up and I’ve also heard that it’s a pretty good major to have for trading. Basically, I’d like to keep my quant skills up so if I wanted to switch from finance, I could get a masters in cs or something.</p>
<p>If you’re good at CS, most financial firms will probably try to hire you in the more quant roles.But of course, if you wanted to trading, I’m sure you’d be easily be able to transfer to such role internally, after if can do the pricing and the algorithms, you can do the trading. Again, as long as you have good grades, just a degree in CS will be sufficient, for IB, S&T, or quant finance.</p>
<p>I’ve definitely been thinking about just going solely to CS… do you know how IB or S&T recruiting for engineering is? I know it’s really good for Ross but I’m not sure with the CoE</p>
<p>I’m in favor of the CS->MBA path. As you said, take your time at college to explore your analytical abilities and excel at that. Enrolling in an MBA afterwards, in my opinion, will grant you a better utilization of your time as you dedicate yourself to different subjects at different periods of time.</p>
<p>Take CS major and take some Ross electives. My D is in Ross this year and received a great IB summer internship for the upcoming summer. Her friend, who is a student in LSA, also receive a Wall St. summer internship. </p>
<p>If you finally do get into Ross, you will need three years to complete that program…maybe 2 1/2 if you’re lucky.<br>
Pick a major that you like and one that excites you. If you need help or advice,you should contact the office of career development. (OCD) or academic advising.</p>
