OP here, I assure you not a joke. So I had no idea CS didn't involve science. I assumed anything under "college of engineering" would be heavy in the sciences. When I think engineer, I think science. When we looked at colleges to get a sense of what courses she would need, all the colleges we looked at [b]required 4 years of science with 3 years lab work to even apply to the school of engineering[/b] so again, I thought CS = science. Science is in the name. Maybe I don't appreciate what science is. Will she not have to take physics and intro to EE as a CS major? Circuits = science to me. [/quote]

[b]Most competitive colleges expect to see science every year, even if not applying to the engineering [/b]school. High school Students generally should be taking biology, chemistry, physics ( those all count as lab sciences)+ a 4th year that could be a different science elective, e.g. earth science, astronomy, or a higher level of one of the lab sciences. I mentioned above that my math-loving son hated science. He took the basic bio/chem/physics and then astronomy.

I think CS is in engineering in most schools but not all. Definitely strong physics + math is needed for engineering schools. But many of the other programs mentioned in this thread are not in the engineering school. Still, if the college has general education requirements they probably can not get through college without a science class. [/quote]

This. For high school, regardless of major your should be planning to take all the core classes every year, even if you don't particularly like them. And, you may find you do like something you hadn't been exposed to, or is taught differently than it was in middle school. [/quote]
