<p>EECS, B.S. and
CS, B.A.?</p>
<p>I believe EECS is Bachelors of Science because it is in the College of Engineering. </p>
<p>C.S. is Bachelor of the Arts because it is in the College of Letters and Science.</p>
<p>sorry I should have been more clear. i know what BS and BA stand for lol.</p>
<p>why is CS offered in 2 different schools? naturally you would think Computer Sciences is a science, so how are they offering it as art?</p>
<p>CS is CS. EECS is EE and CS. </p>
<p>:O</p>
<p>Everything in L&S is B.A. CoE/CoC/Haas degrees are B.S.s because they have less breadth and more major courses.</p>
<p>CNR degrees are also BS</p>
<p>Its an arts degree for the simple reason that the L&S only offers the arts degree. Differences: L&S major is not accredited(according to the catalog) don't know why since it does have more stringent upper-div requirements. EECS is relaxed in terms of the type of classes that must be take in upper-div. L&S has more breadth requirements in place of more science requirements for EECS.</p>
<p>^Sambago, I knew I was forgetting something</p>
<p>L&S and CED are BAs everyone else BSs, though something tells me L&S students (like myself) are more likely to BS.</p>
<p>EECS is basically for people who might be interested in EE also.</p>
<p>The L&S CS is more for people who are interested in ONLY CS and not EE and might be interested in other fields, such as math etc. Based on what I've seen, it seems easier to double major in L&S than in CoE.</p>

<p>To be honest, Computer Science isn't really a "science," it's more of an "engineering" discipline in the sense that you are "engineering" computer programs, rather than studying everyday phenomena.</p>
<p>Plus, also take a look at L&S, they offer Chemistry, Biology and Physics, all of which are "sciences" but confer a B.A. degree.</p>
<p>I think the reason CS is offered as a B.A. is due to the fact it is in L&S, and L&S is structured around the "liberal arts"</p>
<p>so basically the "CS" part of EECS (CoE) and CS (L&S) is the same thing, but the former adds EE to it. right?</p>
<p>Is it possible that I can get a MS in EECS after doing a BS in CS?
My dad's telling me that you cant go from BA to MS, I'm not sure if that's true. Maybe in his day? lol</p>
<p>After doing CS in L&S you can do the fifth year EECS MS program.</p>
<p>A BA in CS is just as good as a EECS BS when searching for a CS graduate program or a CS job.</p>
<p>And yes to affirm Kevin, CS is NOT really a science. They study no natural phenomena. People call them scientists even though they are not, and the minority of idiot CS people sign documents like this:</p>
<p>sweet, Ok so I've made up my mind to go in to CS at L&S since I'm not too much interested in EE, kinda</p>
<p>So this fifth Year EECS MS program, obviously something you have to apply for, is it difficult to get in?
Can it be compared to applying for the EECS program freshman year, in terms of competitiveness?</p>
<p>oh, and can you go from BA to MS?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
