Bluebayou, lumping all of CSOM together may be using too broad a brush.



Of course. A “broad brush”, by definition, is broad. :)

But, OTOH, until this most recent class ('16), A&S used to require more courses for graduation (38) than did CSOM (36). And, IMO, there is a big difference between taking 4 courses Junior year than 5. (For Finance majors, that is a 25% difference in HW!)

Then there is Portico…but my favorite CSOM requirement is (Intro to?) Excel (MI 021). A&S students in the physical sciences are just expected to know Excel, or learn it on the fly…
