<p>It’s one of the most popular and sought after majors. CMSC151, the intro class for students who want to major in CS, consists of 2 sections of over 100 people each (not including the honors course). That being said, the intro classes are generally considered to be overly complicated and a bit disorganized. It depends on which professor you get, I guess. I’ve heard only good things about the upper-level courses though.</p>
<p>Overall it’s a well respected major within the college, and everyone agrees that it’s a challenging one. I’m sure a B.A. or a B.S in CS from UChicago will be just as good as a degree from anywhere else.</p>
