<p>How does the CS Program rank at Cornell in comparison to other universities</p>

2

<p>It’s very good. I don’t go to other universities. Rankings usually put it in the top 5 I believe.</p>

3

<p>is CS computer science???</p>

4

<p>wat’s the difference between the arts/sciences and engineering version of it. Is a B.A. in Computer Science the same as a B.S. in Computer Science to the industry.</p>

<p>This was told to me at the information session for CS:</p>

<p>There is no difference in the industry with regard to computer science. The curricula are identical, and any courses with different names are merely cross-listed (cross-listed means arts students take GHB 271 and engineers take TNT 271 but the curriculum, professors, and actual sections are mixed/the same; made up course numbers so don’t bother looking) </p>

<p>The B.S. vs. B.A. reflects on the requirements outside of the major. Engineering students take the engineering core and arts students take the arts core (i.e. a liberal arts college distribution). That’s the only difference, the degree and major are identical and will be that way in the eyes of an employer.&lt;/p>
