is computer science a hard major?

yes , and no the math will get you, but if your interested in computers it will help greatly

It really depends on your skills and interests. I had two roommates in college taking chemical engineering. One was able to breeze through all the courses. The other one struggled but he really liked the courses so he stuck with it and did just fine.\n\nDon't worry about what is hard, follow the direction you enjoy. In the long run that is the best.

i'm a chem major.. it's n ot as bad as people make it seem to be. although there are the hard courses like analytical and physical chem.. the others aren't bad.. the labs are long for since it takes time for reactions to occur but its fun.. even though i'm majoring in chem i still had to take physics and that probably the worse classes i had.. in my opinion.. so if you like sciences and all that stuff i would really recommend chemistry over physics anytime... good luck..

Computer Science is a broad field. Which part of it interests you? Design? Programming? Networks? Graphics/animation? Narrow down your interests before researching where to go because some schools may excel at certain areas over others. Find one that seems geared towards the industry that interests you. Contact some of the companies that have positions that interest you and ask where many of their successful recruits obtained their education.

If you're talking about a major in college, then you should really talk to a counselor, someone that can help you decide. Although, if you're interested in computers, majoring in math could be a good move because it will give you a more extensive background to build your further education from.\n\nIf you're just asking about common courses, both math and English are going to be required by most colleges as part of the core curriculum. So you're kinda stuck there. But if you have space in your schedule to take an elective, I would go for whatever interests you. Electives are a chance to explore things that interest you, but you're not sure you want to pursue further.

hey, im also doing computer science and information systems. Although networing may not end up being in the main scope of what you end up doing, i would recommend it highly. It is an amazingly helpful subject and it's always good to have that extra bit of experience. good luck!!

why not go into computer science or something

The O'Reilly series of books is quite popular among my friends who have computing science backgrounds. However, it would depend on what aspect of computer science you are interested in. \n\nHere is a link to the O'Reilly website. I hope you find what you are looking for there: http://www.oreilly.com/

Actually entering Computer field for a non maths background person is little bit difficult, for everything Computer these days is Mathematics. I am saying this for I am myself in this field, and I see extensive use of mathematics in Programming.\nFor business what I think best is Go for B.Com. from any very good university with finances as your major and then try for CAT. But make sure, higher grades you score, better the prospects. And one thing more GK and Good Interpersonal Skills are a must.\nOtherwise there are really many options but then they will not give you the best in life.

A chemical engineering student once told me that chemical engineering was hardest.  They are basically specialized mechanical engineers (strength of materials, fluid flow, advanced math, heat transfer, basic electrical and electronics, etc. etc.) but must deal with an endless list of organic and inorganic chemicals and their reactions.  But if you study real hard, you can make your major hardest, right?  Good luck.

All depents on the University or College u are applying to, get their program and course descriptions.\nGenerally speaking Comp Sci is all about code and programming where copm Eng is heavily dased on more problem solving using comp languages.\nFor webdesign you would probably need niether of them.

i would say it would depend on what you want to your degree to apply to. computer science is a foundational degree that can apply to more careers and be a more powerful option whereas networking pushes you into a career area and can limit you in future career possibilities. both are good options, technology is a strong sector for employment. so there ya go, hope this helped, you can try monster.com and bls.gov for more advice.

It depends on the major you want. If the major has a lot of lower division pre-requisite courses that you have not taken at the CC then you might have some trouble. Also some of the more impacted majors have GPA requirements and as a freshman you can be admitted as a "pre" status like pre-bio but you have to maintain the gpa before you can be admitted into the full major. I would say research the institution you are interested in and maybe call the advisor at the dept. of major you want. Good Luck.

sure, lots of schools offer those majors.

None is better than the other. It's about the major you fit in. I'm not sure what specific technical background you have. Sometimes one doesn't have to choose which one you want, because one only fulfills the requirements for either, not both.

Go for it! I majored in computer science (and yeah, I was 1 of like 4 girls in my whole school who did the same thing). When I was in high school, I didn't know very much about computers at all. Here's how to go about it:\n\nAs a freshman, start off taking an introductory programming class and a seminar class on different computer science topics (you just go and listen to people lecture about their work). If you enjoy your programming class, try to get a summer internship or research fellowship at a company where you can get some experience programming. As a sophomore, take a more advanced programming class and maybe a compiler class. You can follow the classes outlined at your school for earning a B.S. degree in Computer Science. There are many areas you can focus on. I did computational and neural systems (aka artificial intelligence), but I also did some coursework on computer graphics. \n\nIf you have free time, start doing your own projects now! You can buy a domain name and set up a blog. Once you have that running, learn how to set up a RSS feed for it. Maybe download some Yahoo! widgets and run through the Yahoo! widgets tutorial at http://widgets.yahoo.com/workshop/ to see if you can build your own. There are tons of people online that you can ask if you have questions, so just try it out and see how it goes!\n\nOnce you get out of school, you can do loads of interesting work! Want to program the next Finding Nemo movie at Pixar? Or build Playstation 4 at Sony? Maybe you could build the next generation of Yahoo! Answers. ;)

hmmm, thats difficult, it really depends on how good the Uni is for your subject. See it may be a good uni but it may be rubbish for your course.
