<p>Supposed prestige does not appear to affect post-graduation outcomes of EECS versus L&S CS in the [career</a> survey](<a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm]career”>https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm). ABET accreditation may matter in some EE contexts, but it is not generally an issue in CS contexts.</p>
<p>For breadth, the requirements are different; which is more in line with the individual student’s preferences depends on the student (also, which is easier or harder also depends on the student). A student who is focused on CS and is not interested in EE, other engineering, or physics may prefer the L&S CS major, since the EECS major requires Physics 7A/7B, additional science, and non-EECS engineering. In humanities and social studies, L&S wants the student to get breadth in various subcategories (art and literature, history, etc.), while CoE wants the student to take some upper division H/SS breadth courses. L&S allows AP for R&C A and B, but not 7-course breadth, while CoE allows some AP to fulfill breadth or R&C A, but not R&C B.</p>
