2.1.1. Which Computer Science Degree Should I Choose?

The B.S. has credits in the upper division track allowing the student to pursue more deeply a particular area of computer science and tailor the degree to a specific area of interest. For students who are more likely to practice in an area that is highly specialized or technical, the B.S. may provide a better background. However, the B.A. includes a richer set of liberal education credits than the B.S. For application areas that involve the liberal arts, this broader background may be more appropriate.
