Computer Science or Computer Engineering?

At many schools, CS is a 4 year program with a mix of 15 and 18 credit semesters. Many CE programs would require 5 years unless your a super student and can handle 18 and 21 credit semesters. This concerns college funds and ones ability to tolerate being a college student. Also you should think about your ability to handle the work load. If you take 15 credits a semester and have 3 hours a day of classes, That will in general generate 1 to 3 hours of study time per hour of class time. Are you willing and disciplined enough to put in the time? Do not under estimate how demanding it is to get through a technical degree. If you get accepted with a CS major you can always evaluate after you get a semester or 2. At most schools if you have good grades and are in good standing crossing over into another program is not as hard as many say it is.
