UC Berkeley EECS or CS?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>@victor5555 - thank you. i guess I’ll still complete the physics series (for the sake of meeting UCLA requirements for CS B.S degree. Dammit why couldn’t UCLA offer a CS B.A degree) and apply for CS L&S at UCB.</p>

<p>@ucbalumnus - I will be completing IGETC (the alternative to L&S Breadth Requirements).
"To be competitive for admission purposes, the department advises prospective<br>
transfer students to take UC-transferable courses in:<br>

  1. data structures–even if not officially comparable to Berkeley’s CS 61B; and
  2. Java (preferred) or C++."
    I will be doing just that for meeting CS 61B requirements ^.
    However, it will not be possible for me to take CS 61A/C equivalents at Laney/Diablo. I do appreciate the information though =]</p>

<p>@credulitykills - oh sounds good. best of luck. </p>

<p>BTW, how does choosing an “alternative major” work. Do all UCs offer this option on your application? And what is the difference between a minor and “alternative major”.</p>

<p>Thank you everyone for the replies. Great community we’ve got here :D</p>
