I’ve heard that the BACS is more well-rounded and general and the BSCS is more focused on programming and coding.



The BACS has almost all of the same COMPUTER SCIENCE classes involved, the differences is in the “integrated electives” versus the eschool requirements of physics, chemistry, systems engineering, etc intro classes. So there will be an equivalent amount of programming in the BA and the BS.

You can do a business minor in the e-school as discussed in a recent thread in this forum.

If you’re hesitant about coding, or lots of science, you should probably just apply to arts and sciences and then you can do the BACS if you still like CS after all of the intro programming classes. CS might not even be for you if you don’t like programming.
