What is different about computer science programs in California?

On University of California campuses, undergraduate computer science is usually a major inside an engineering college, and the campuses share one application calendar. The public sample names three of those majors. It does not include selectivity, cost, or the campus application.

The major and the university are not the same choice

Berkeley, Los Angeles, and San Diego all teach computing, and they do not teach it under the same department name. One is electrical engineering and computer sciences, one is computer science, and one is computer science and engineering. Searching only the words "computer science" misses majors a student would actually want.

Scout's signed-in search is built for that kind of match. These three pages are the public examples.

One calendar, separate campuses

University of California campuses share an application calendar that is different from most private universities. A public page can say that. It should not pretend the calendar is a deadline you can act on without checking the year.
