<p>This is such a common misconception on this forum that I genuinely think someone should put up a sticky here indicating how misinformed it is to think that CS majors have some strange disadvantage in the software industry due to the sole fact that they receive a BA instead of a BS.</p>
<p>Why would you want to take SO many more prereqs for a degree that will give you virtually no real advantage over a BA? Nevermind, that transferring into the CoE, especially for EECS, is even more difficult than getting into Berkeley in the first place. Taking CS is pretty much perfect in your scenario.</p>
<p>The ONLY situation in which I see EECS as a better option is if you want to do a lot of EE, rather than CS. And even then, it sounds like you’ll have a ton of work cut out for you.</p>
