so i'm a comp sci major with a whopping 16 credits done already, but i need to decide soon which of the versions of the major to go with. my school offers 4:
computer science- computer science
computer science- big data
computer science- business
computer science- international engineering
straight cs gives all the credits needed for a math minor, and includes cs theory courses not found in all the other majors.
big data only requires math up to calc 2/linear algebra, but includes a ton of statistics courses and requires cs classes like data mining.
cs- business only requires math up to calc 2 (no linear algebra), and besides the 47 cs credits requires credits in accounting, management, finance, business, and economics. results in a business minor with no extra classes. close to devoid of cs theory courses with an emphasis on application (straight up coding).
omg it's too long because 4chan sucks. continued below <3

cs- international engineering requires less math than straight cs (no math minor without extra classes), but more than the business and big data majors. beyond calc 2/linear algebra you need 2 more junior or higher math courses. also engineering statistics. comp sci requirements are mostly electives meaning you can theory/application/mix/etc. whatever you like. also requires 4 semesters of foreign language (i'm interested in spanish) and a semester or year abroad.
all majors require 4 lab science courses, like chem/phys/etc.
my thoughts right now are that business is the way to go. less math is a good thing but i've always been good at math anyway so math minor probably wouldn't be an issue. i've always thought of business classes as easy compared to "real" academic work so that's a plus, and i've heard that going the business route makes you more attractive to potential employers if you're looking for work at a typical business. anyone know if this is true?
international engineering seems pretty cool too. would make me get serious about spanish after messing around with it for years lol, and semester abroad could be a really great experience. plus knowing a foreign language always looks good on an application, right? if i went this route i'd probably focus less on cs theory and more on practical applications that would hopefully look good to future employers.
thoughts??
