Undergraduate Programs
Two programs, two Colleges, one mission
BS in EECS (College of Engineering) Includes standardized physics / math requirements,
increased EE focus
BA in CS (Letters and Science) More flexibility in breadth (math, sciences, etc.)
The major coursework is the same! Same classrooms, assignments, and faculty advisers.

The L&S CS Lower Division
• CS 61A: Structure / Interpretation of Computer Programs
• CS 61B: Data Structures• CS 70: Discrete Math with Probability Theory
• CS 61C: Machine Structures
• Math 1A/1B: Calculus Sequence• Math 54: Linear Algebra
• EE16A (or B): Signals and Circuits

Declaring the Major
• Requirements for declaring the major– Complete declaration classes – Expected to be CS61A, CS61B, CS70– GPA threshold (average over declaration classes)
• Our best estimate: 3.3 for students starting in Fall 2015
– Declaration after 3-4 semesters depending on background
• Why is there a threshold?– CS is at an all-time high in popularity– Our program has grown over 300% in less than three years– EECS + CS majors are now 10% of undergraduates and growing– We need to balance inclusion with our high level of service

Berkeley EECS Alumni
According to industry leaders, Berkeley grads:
– “… stand out” as “self-starters” who “graduate with street smarts.”
– “… have more of a go-get-it attitude or a can-do attitude” than graduates from some other top schools.
– “… form a very diverse mix of students, from a wide range of backgrounds.”
And, we hope…..
– exhibit honesty, leadership, courage, consideration for humanity, and high standards of professional ethics
