@BlessedMom,

Congratulations on your son’s accomplishment.

I think the disadvantage of being in exploration as opposed a pre-engineering major is that getting into certain classes (especially the freshmen engineering sequence) can be extremely hard. These classes are often in the list to classes to be completed before applying to be in the major.

This is not an issue for those who want computer science, because the computer and information science major (offered by art and science anyways) does not create any issues for those starting in explorations. But I think it can be problematic for other majors, though there might be workarounds.
