Computer Science in LS&A vs. Engineering
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science offers two program paths to a degree in Computer Science. One is through the LS&A College and the other is through the College of Engineering.
The concentration/program requirements are almost exactly the same for both programs.
The differences are in the general requirements required of all LS&A or College of Engineering students in order to get a degree from that college. Overall, Engineering requires 128 credits and LS&A requires 120 credits. The LS&A degree is a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) and the Engineering degree is a Bachelor of Science Engineering (Computer Science). LS&A students can more easily double-major with other LS&A departments, as Engineering students can more easily dual with other Engineering programs.
These are general comparisons. For more information about the specific requirements in each college, please consult the College of LSA Bulletin and the LSA Advising Center or the College of Engineering Bulletin and the Engineering Advising Center.
Please feel free to reference both of the Program Guides provided below for details about requirements. You will notice that much of the program information is identical.
