Ok, I guess in your degree program the only difference is that you sit around in a lab instead of a lecture hall learning those fundamental things then? Because I'm not referring to some trivial amount of fundamental information... I'm referring to, roughly, the amount of information covered in 3 one hour lectures a week.
> I can only speak to my experience advising dual CS and Chemistry majors. The ratio of lab to class hours for them is 1:2, and worse when you add electives. So that's the basis for my statement. YMMV.
Ok, I'm citing directly from my university's course catalog (and also the courses I took at several universities) so YMMV.
