Ice breakers:
– Where did you go to high school?
– What is your declared major now?
• If CS, ask BS or BA
• CS vs. CE vs EE
A gross oversimplification:
–
•
– Why are you interested in CS?
– Introduce yourself--where you went to HS,
College, Grad School, and
something about your research.
•
•
–
•
BS: best for most students
BA: like a double major with
• econ, bio, or geography
CCS: advanced only, research emphasis
Job outlook: great
–
–
CS jobs: not just sitting in cubicles coding
Need communication and people skills too (explain why)
Double majors (send them to Phill)
– two CoE majors: not allowed
– with L&S major, not impossible, but hard
• BS vs BA vs CCS

What Courses Should I Be Taking
– Refer to the chart above and the
sample schedule
– 2.75GPA needed to enter major, over:
Math 3ABC, 5AB, PSTAT120A, and
[ CS 16/24/32/40/48/56/64 (BS)
or CS 16/24/32/40 (BA) ]
– 3.0 for pre-major (4 courses, >=2 from CS list)
Advice from Greta:
For freshman, don’t assume they “know”
and they may be embarrassed to ask
Watch for “deer in headlights” look
Back up if they seem lost.
CS: software, EE: hardware, CE: some of both
• must satify BOTH gen eds
•
Minors from L&S (no CoE minors):
– not as hard as double major
• only need gen ed that goes with major
•
5 Year BS/MS
– apply when you’ve completed
no less than 3, no more than 8 UD courses
