BACS or BSCS

College Majors Science Majors
1

<p>Okay i started out college as a math major but decided i did not want to go to grad school and there are not many jobs for a math major so i deiced to switch to computer science i have a problem. I want to take the BSCS but it will keep me in college an extra year and i do not have the money for it, or i could take the BACS and graduate on time. Does the BACS not as competitive as the BSCS, will i not be able to get any good jobs, or will i not be able to work in the engneering or sciences firms? will i strictly be business or something not technical? Both degrees are awarded form the college of engineering, the BSCS is ABET certified but the BACS is not. I have listed the programs courses and requirements below.</p>
