It really depends on what you expect to get out of your degree.

Now we all (think we) know what an ME does: designs mechanical things.

What does a CS major do? Design computers? Architect new machine structures? Design cases? (nope, that's the ME's job).

The point I want to make is, it matters very little what your degree says - you pursue what interests you the most, and by nature you will excel at it. The purpose of your education is to give you a formal background in whatever it is that you intend to pursue.

Oh, how I wish I had focused more on communications theory when I had the chance. the professor was willing to get into whatever depth i wanted, but I was just a young college student with other distractions. sigh.

If you already know a lot about computer programming, you've proven that you know how to learn that by yourself. Trust me, you can carry that ability to learn to any subject. But having a mentor (professor) explain stuff to you is usually easier than hacking it out yourself.

The bottom line is the same as the top: What is it you expect to get from your degree?
