Is AP Comp Sci A a good indicator of what a Comp Sci major is like?

A proper CS degree isn’t a programming degree. In fact, in a lot (maybe most?) of your classes you won’t even touch a computer.

<p>In most CS courses, students will do programming assignments and projects to apply the concepts that they learn. Only in a few purely theory courses (discrete math, algorithms and complexity theory, theory of computation) will assignments not involve programming (these will be like math courses).</p>
