- not necessarily. I had been pursuing a BS in CS untill last term. Our CS
- department here at OSU requires 3 terms of physics with calc. and even though
- (not to toot my own horn) am a very able programmer, I was forced to change my
- major (droping out and/or transfering are out of the question) since I was unable
- to do these physics classes. So you see, just because you are good at something, and
- enjoy it, doesn't mean that you can get a degree in it.
