<p>Recently i was admitted into UIUC Stats and CS in Liberal Arts. If i don't transfer into the engineering college, how is the job opportunity with the Stats and CS major? I have the opportunity to go to OSU for CS in engineering? I was wondering if anyone had any insight that could help me make a decision.</p>

<p>It looks like the statistics and CS major contains most of the important CS courses for industry software jobs, plus some elective space.</p>
<p>I would say try to go a little deeper into statistics (more Probability Theory for example) as the CS classes look about right, and the STATs too. If you can get away with it add some CS or STAT courses as free electives. The combination of areas is pretty powerful with a lot of new CS areas depending to an extent on statistics.</p>
<p>I like that curriculum. Like stated above, it has the needed CS courses for employment as well as the needed CS courses for admission to a graduate CS program or graduate Applied Math program or some interdisciplinary M.S./M.Eng graduate engineering programs. I would throw in a Computational Statistics/Statistical Computing course in there as an elective.</p>
