<p>CCS is A LOT more rigorous than the Letters and Science Physics. Typically, the way CCS works is that you’ll take the specific CCS Physics classes your first year, which are very small classes and very intense. It might be worth noting that you are not actually given grades in these classes, but rather “units”, and the more effort you put into the class the more units you receive. During the first two years they also have specific classes designed to get you actively involved in actual research early on (some as early as sophomore year). </p>
<p>The last two years you take upper division/graduate level courses. You have no unit cap, and you can take any class you want without having met the pre-requisites (in an attempt to challenge yourself, and you’re even allowed to drop the class up till THE LAST DAY, without even receiving a withdraw). The perks of CCS are numerous, I highly suggest you look into it. It really is one of the best undergraduate educations in the nation.</p>
