What's the difference between CS and CSE?

College Majors Math/Computer Science Majors

I am planning on attending UCI this fall and I was wondering, what is the difference between CS and CSE? In the future, I want to pursue a career such as software developing.

Therefore, what’s the difference and which one would be more suitable for me?

@Gumbymom, thanks for the information, but I was wondering what the difference between Computer Science and Computer Science and Engineering. Not the difference between CS and CE.

@dhp760 One contains engineering and the other one doesn’t.

In all seriousness, you’re probably better off looking at the major requirements. If UCI offers both CS and CSE majors as options, chances are they’ll be fairly similar, but one may emphasize certain fields or subjects more than the other.
