Comment I like CS (Score 1) 509
I was originally admitted to Purdue as a CPT (CIS) major but am now nearing a transfer to the CS department. A lot of people have been asking me why, especially with the CS curriculum being much harder and with the jobs and salaries currently similar.
There is no easy answer to that, but the curriculum is actually part of the initial attraction. There are more programming and systems-related courses with CS where CIS requires more business-related courses.
I'd say that the main reason is because personally, I'd rather do research and programming than business and networking.
As for the extra math, that's the fun stuff!!
