Time to Explore
Starting out in General Computing gives you time to explore and decide which degree program sparks your curiosity. In your courses you'll explore computing-related majors as you build your confidence and knowledge. In one or two semesters, you'll be ready to make a well-informed decision about your major, then transition into the degree that's best for you -- without adding or completing unnecessary credits.
Stay on Track
You'll join a group of first-year General Computing students who'll attend the same sections of foundational first-year courses. You'll form a team with three to four other students which will become your study group, research group, and support network. Along with your professors and advisor, someone will always be there to help and keep you on track.
