i need advice on what major to pursue.. any help would be appreciated.

what's the difference between Computer Science and Software Engineering majors?

you'd be better off putting this thread in "off topic"

It really depends on your college/university.

My guess is that computer science is geared towards academics and programming theory (algorithms and such), while software engineering is geared towards applied programming knowledge. If it helps, I thought that my single software engineering course was one of the most valuable of my computer science curriculum in terms of preparing me for the real world.
