<p>I have been admitted to the class of 2010 and is considering majoring in electrical engineering at Yale.</p>
<p>I am considering graduating with either a B.A. or B.S. degree in Engineering Sciences (Electrical).</p>
<p>Since I am planning to go to law school after I graduate from Yale College, I am very interested in knowing if these degrees will fulfill the technical requirements for taking the USPTO registration exam (the patent bar). </p>
<p>On the USPTO’s site, it says that a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering will suffice, but I am confused because the title of the degree says Engineering Sciences (Electrical) and not Engineering Sciences. Does this mean I have to get the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, which the electrical engineering department also offers.</p>
<p>On Yale’s website it is indicated that B.A. degree in Engineering Sciences (Electrical) is intended for students who plan careers outside of engineering, one of which is law.</p>
<p>Does this mean that people with this degree can become patent attorneys?</p>
<p>This is a very important issue for me.</p>
<p>I would appreciate any help.</p>
