<p>Pros:

  • Lots of overlapping coursework, easy to complete
  • Related subjects, knowledge of one useful to other
  • Both very employable</p>

<p>Cons:

  • Lots of overlapping coursework, not a lot of added value
  • Related subjects, could just do one or other
  • Both qualify you for many of the same jobs</p>

<p>Other majors that are good with CS:

  • Math … academic research, scientific computing, numerical analysis, etc.
  • Physics / eng. besides EE and CompE … scientific computing, computational science, some engineering, etc.
  • Business / Economics … finance, business, IT, etc.</p>

<p>There are many excellent schools with the EECS major - you may want to look at those schools. It’s certainly an endorsement of the approach.</p>
