<p>Hello fellow CCers,</p>
<p>First of all I want to thank everyone here. I'm sure I wouldn't have made it this far without this board.</p>
<p>I just got accepted as a transfer student at Berkeley EECS. When I started Community College, having worked as a software developer before, EECS was the perfect major for me. I was interested in both CS and EE. However, the past few months my focus has been shifting a little. I found that my real passion is business and maybe a little psychology. My future goal is starting my own company (which I have done several times now). My two choices are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to EECS, take as few ENG courses as possible (there are some that look pretty interesting to me) and load up on other classes just to learn something else.</li>
<li>Go to CC one more year and apply for a different major</li>
<li>Don't get a degree ; )</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm leaning towards the second option, but I really like the prestige of Berkeley's EECS program and well, it was my dream from the very beginning to get accepted there. If there is any way I can combine my current interests with EECS (which I still find interesting, it's just not my priority anymore) then I want to do it. I want to earn an MBA later on, so I am also a little scared about my GPA (all these rumors about EECS...).</p>
<p>I know you can't really help me decide, but you could answer some questions of mine.
1. Am I even allowed to take all other classes outside the CoE as an EECS student? Even Haas? Noncredit would be fine too.
2. How much spare space for non-engineering courses do I have as a transfer student? From what I see I need to take about 45-50 units of ENG courses to graduate. That is about 10-12 units per semester if I include summer. Since ENG courses are pretty rigorous would it be overkill to add Business/Psych courses to that courseload?
3. Any first-hand experiences from EECS transfers on how much free time you have had?</p>
<p>What do you guys think? Any other suggestions or comments? =)</p>
<p>Thank you soo much!</p>
