CS at Berkeley

<p>Computer Science is offered both in College of Engineering and College of Letters&Science at UCB.</p>

<p>Considering admission into EECS is tough, if one wants to specialize in law and technology, which would be a better route? Also, if one goes undeclared into Engineering, is it easy to latter declare EECS as major later?</p>

<p>Law and technology? I don’t think that’s a normal specialization – or even a specialization at all.</p>

<p>If you want to double major, you should take the L&S route. If you want pure hardware and engineering, go for EECS.</p>

<p>I believe you are interested in patent law. I believe a engineering background or pure science such as physics or chemistry is stronger for that path. i forget what the requirements are to be a patent attorney, so just google that and it should give you a list of majors the US goverment says is okay for that job.</p>

<p>Yes, by law and technology I meant doing CS for BS/BA and then going to law school for JD. In other words, not a hardcore CS Engr. As misterreach said a career in IP/patent law</p>

<p>Then you’d want CS in L&S.</p>

<p>In addition, Engineering Undeclared statistically is of equal difficulty/harder to get into than EECS. With regard to the second part of your question, if you’re admitted into the Undeclared program, you can transfer into EECS after your second year with a minimum GPA that’s significantly lower than that normally required to get into EECS (2.0).

<p>alright i found the souce…<a href=“http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/dcom/olia/oed/grb.pdf[/url]”>http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/dcom/olia/oed/grb.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
that talks about the requirements for certification as a patent attorney. cs and eecs are both eligible. but the caveat is

</p>

<p>pretty sure that cal passes that, but just make sure. oh page 5 on the pdf for that inforrmation</p>
