Which CS should I choose L&S or COE(transfer)

<p>Hi everyone, I'd like to apply as a CS transfer student but I am just confused about which college should I choose. I major in CS and MATH in my current university and I do love these 2 subjects. It will be great for me if I can declare a double major here after I fortunately join as a junior. However, I am not interested in EE or H&SS or other science subjects. </p>

<p>I have checked the requirement for both programs and I found that the situation is like this:
less math+ee+physics+chemistry VS more math+h&ss</p>

<p>I believe I can do better in engineering and science courses than h&ss, but CS in L&S seems to have more opportunity taking math courses. Could you please tell me what is the minimal number of non-eng&sci (e.g H&SS) courses I have to take in two years for graduation? THX~</p>

<p>P.S: Do you know which college is easier to transfer? Just share your opinion~</p>

<p>The only question I can answer is that I believe that CoE is much more difficult to transfer into.</p>

<p>EECS is an “automatic double-major”. If you only want to major in CS, or double-major in CS and something other than EE, then choose the CS program.</p>

<p>The CS portions of CS and EECS are 100% identical, and the only difference lies in the extras needed for EE, if you choose the engineering college. (Physics, EE courses, etc).</p>

<p>The engineering college is usually harder to get into than L&S, but that’s probably because L&S is filled with “fluffy” majors.</p>

<p>EECS vs CS depends on whether you want EE, or something else.</p>

<p>CS also requires Algorithms and Operating Systems. EECS has no mandatory classes in the upper division aside from some loose requirements.</p>
