<p>I was admitted into LAS and listed my program as Actuarial Science. However, I recently discovered the Bachelor of Science in Math and Computer Science option.</p>
<p>Does anyone have information on this? It's still part of LAS right? Is this option rigorous?</p>
<p>It is a bit more math than computer science and is LAS. It is rigourous. particularly since you will be taking a lot of upper level math courses that have large amounts of homework and also many of the CS courses offered by the engineering department which also have a lot of problem set homework; moreover, you will be in the same CS classes as the CS majors in engineering and thus competing with them for grades. </p>
<p>Note, I hope you didn't hear that the actuarial science program was easy or not rigorous because if you did you are in for a surprise.</p>
<p>Thanks for your response.
I only chose actuarial to fulfill my love of math. However, I've recently discovered how great computer science is. My first choice was the university of michigan, but given this new revelation, I might end up at UIUC. </p>
<p>My main concern is that, since the program is split between math and cs, I might not learn enough cs to be fully knowledgeable on the subject.</p>
<p>Actually, CS is more like a graduate stuff. Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder, went to a state public school majoring in math, then went to Stanford graduate school for Master's degree in CS. So, if you don't have much experience in CS but want to work in the field of CS, then go to undergrad for math and then to grad for CS.</p>
<p>yo same interest i applied to stats/ computer science in the LAS but i want to do just computer science does this mean i just transfer if i get accepted?</p>
