UCSB for Computer Science

<p>Hi there, I'm wondering what exactly is the difference between the College of Creative Studies and the College of Engineering for Computer Science? Is one preferred? Are 5-year BS/MS programs offered in both?</p>

<p>It sounds like the program is smaller, more selective and intense. Smaller class size and more access to the professors - was my impression. More like going to a smaller private school but having the resources of a large research university. But I too would like to hear from someone in the program.</p>
