UC Berkeley

• I understand that STEM and Engineering are strong, but I haven’t grasped anything beyond that yet.

  • The difference between CS in the College of Letters & Science (L&S) and the College of Engineering at UC Berkeley.
    • They are mostly the same, but CS in L&S seems to have a stronger focus on liberal arts.

• What should I major in?

  • I have decided on L&S.
    • Some options I’m interested in:
      • CS
        • I’m concerned about the high competition for admission.
        • Oh, and it seems there’s something like a declaration process.

        • Enter the College of Letters & Science (L&S) and, after successful completion of the courses required to declare with the minimum grade point average (GPA), petition to be admitted to the L&S Computer Science major.

      • Media Studies
        • It seems to involve studying media from a more humanities-oriented approach.
        • It might be slightly different.
      • Cog Sci

        • That sounds fun.
        • The GPA requirement for declaration seems to be 2.0, which is lower than CS. Does that mean I should go for Cog Sci?
