<p>This is for L and S. I know that 6 is the minimum, if you use a non-CS technical elective, and realistically, one could probably fit in as much as 18 if all your classes are CS besides the 7 breadth and R and C. What is sort of the average number of upper divs L and S people take? I feel like 6 is just waay to few, and the schedule leaves so much space that it seems to begging for a double major. And if people do near the minimum number of courses, what other classes do these people take to fill up the free space.</p>
<p>Classes that they are interested in?</p>
<p>If 6 is way too few, take more. Or just take classes you’re interested in. Or spend the extra time doing research, take a semester off for an internship/study abroad. The number of classes you’ve taken is irrelevant to pretty much everything after college, including job prospect.</p>
<p>Although which CS courses you take can affect which base level CS knowledge you will enter the job market with. While most topics in CS can be self-educated, it is generally to your advantage to take the CS courses whose concepts are most commonly found in industry software jobs (e.g. 170, 162, 186, 169, 161, EE122).</p>
