[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U can still take the core CS classes ..just not graduate as a CS major. Employers care about which classes you took and do you know your stuff[/quote]

You're assuming kids can get into the classes. They will prioritize the CS majors and then if you get lucky you MIGHT get in. Good luck! [/quote]

Have you people ever gone to college?  or registered for college classes?  You seem really ignorant.[/quote]

At almost every school where majors are "impacted" or "direct admit" (both the terms for restricted), you will not get into many (if any) CS classes if you are not a major.  That's the definition of making a major "impacted/direct admit"---they make the courses inaccessible to largely anyone who is not in the major.  If they had space they would allow anyone into the major.

Heck, many times CS majors have a difficult time getting into the courses (go ask anyone at CalPolySLO in CS if they got to take any electives that they actually wanted to take---do it and let me know the results or if they ever had any trouble getting into the required courses in CS so they could actually graduate in 4 years) [/quote]
