Question for Engineering School

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I was wondering if CompSci is considered an Engineering major? The engineering website doesn't have CompSci, only EE. Thanks!</p>

<p>Hi Richard XDD</p>

<p>There are two pathways for Comp Sci:</p>

<p>Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Yale Engineering
Computer Science at Yale College</p>

<p>It really depends on what you want to do. In a nutshell, EECS is more hardware-based, while CS is more software-based.</p>

<p>Okay then don’t have to write that pesky third essay</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I have a question related to Engineering so I might as well ask it here:
If you apply and get into Yale (which is rather unlikely :D) without saying that your intended major is Engineering and without writing the Engineering essay, can you still take Engineering classes and eventually major in E once there?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>^ Yes - totally.</p>

<p>But let me ask you this: If you really want to study engineering, why not just directly apply to Yale Engineering? You can always switch into the College if you change your mind.</p>

<p>Does Engineering have less affirmative action discrimination against Asian kids?</p>

<p>iceui2: Because I have never had a chance to even explore or try out Engineering, and so I’d like to take a few classes in it before considering it as a serious major option / enrolling at the Engineering school.</p>
