Comment on Ask HN: Do employers care whether my Computer Science degree is a B.A. or B.S?

Comments

You can always take the math and physics at UC after you are admitted. Universities tend to be pretty flexible about such things. You could also take them at a community college or other institution over a summer after you are admitted.

The first big thing is to get your associates and get to the university.

Good luck.

Thanks. Unfortunately admissions are extremely competitive, and I hear only the people with high GPA + all finished pre-reqs get in. I figure if I get accepted somewhere, I'd rather focus on the CS/programming material than finishing classes that are irrelevant to my major.

What I am suggesting is that it is not likely to be particularly difficult to get faculty support to switch from a BA to a BS once you are in the department.
