@ucbalumnus Are you aware that the link you posted actually refers to both degrees and NOT only to L&S CS that you are defending so much? In fact, L&S CS probably makes up less than 3% of this list. And on a side note, everybody is entitled to their opinions. You cannot state that someone is “not correct” just because your opinion differs from theirs. Present your facts, please, because these are mine:
“Bachelor’s in CS (or STEM with professional programming experience)”
“Bachelor’s degree BS in Information Technology, Computer Science or a related field”
“BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or a related field required”
"BS or MS in Computer Science or a related field. "
"BS in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent "
“Solid understanding of computer science fundamentals (B.S./M.S./Ph.D. in Computer Science preferred)”
“B.S. degree in Management Information Systems, Computer Science or equivalent.”
“Minimum of B.S. in CS/EE or related science required”
“BS in Computer Science or related area”
“Education: B.S. in Computer Science or in field/discipline from an accredited college or university”
These are application requirements from 10 random “software engineer” jobs in San Francisco (first few pages of indeed). How many BAs do you see? I wonder why.
