@ppxyz123 CS, and engineering in general, is not “limited access” at USF. It’s also fairly easy for first time in college (freshman admits) to switch majors, as long as they have the required GPA. They do require a 3.0 GPA in their core classes (English, Calc and Physics). In addition, they may also require a minimum grade of a B in two intro to programming classes.
