<p>Everyone in this thread is referring to the L&S version of computer science as “dumbed down” vs. the EECS route. I’m not so sure this is true. From what I’ve read, the required computer science courses in both majors are identical, and it’s only the courses outside of computer science that are different. While this makes the L&S version easier, since engineering classes and the like aren’t required, I think calling it “dumbed down” isn’t very accurate. If you’re saying it’s a more “dumbed down” engineering program, then I agree. But as a computer science program, I see no reason to call it “dumbed down.”</p>
