<p>Although I do not know much about that specific program, here is the course outline for that major, <a href=“http://viterbi.usc.edu/assets/131/77770.pdf[/url]”>http://viterbi.usc.edu/assets/131/77770.pdf</a> . As you will see, the major actually incorporates quite a bit of programming. It honestly depends on whether you are a person who easily learns how to program. I know some programmers who struggle while some kids who have never programmed excel in class. </p>
<p>If you are really passionate about CSCI, I suggest you go for it. Within the first semester you will realize whether this is the right major for you and if it isn’t, you can always switch your major. As with any engineering major, companies are constantly looking for engineers, specifically Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Success depends a lot on how involved a student is with companies and how well the student networks. If you are student that constantly interacts with recruiters, I believe that you will be successful if you have a decent GPA.</p>
