Ok, I know this is a little early to think about, since I’m an incoming freshman, but I like to plan things out. I was looking on my uni’s web site and it seems there are a few concentrations for a CS major and I was wondering which one would be the most beneficial (for both grad school and career).


General CS - a bit of everything - theory, applied, EE, etc.
Computer security - application security, secure networks, crypto, secure software development
Computational intelligence - AI, data mining, biologically inspired computing, computer vision
Software engineering - software testing, software project management, software design methods, etc.


Theory - compiler theory, algebraic data structures, computational complexity, etc.

Any answers are appreciated.
