Three options for studying CS at UCSB
Bachelor of Science in
Computer Science
Best for most
students
Bachelor of Arts in
Computer Science
Bachelor of Science in
Computer Science
with emphasis in (pick one):
• Computational Biology
• Computational Economics
• Computational Geography
College of Engineering
College of
Letters and Science
College of Creative Studies
Traditional Computer
Science Program.
Combine CS with Biology,
Economics or Geography.
Strong lower division
preparation, strong upper
division core, many elective
choices. Opportunities for
undergrad research in 3rd
and 4th years.
Great opportunity for
interdisciplinary study.
For very advanced students
only—requires separate
application. Emphasis:
independent study, early
involvement in research.
