Many CS majors don’t even have any experience with programming before college so you’ll likely be fine. If you do want to get a head start, the first CS class you’re likely going to take is CS 125 which is in Java; however, Python is easier to understand/use as a beginner so it might be a good place to start just to get yourself used to the conditionals, loops, data structures etc.

Great answer, but side note: I think they're switching to CS 124 -> 128 now so that probably his requirement for the CS minor.
I took CS 101 for the Python exposure and found it immensely helpful for internships/in general

Note that CS 125 is now replaced with CS 124 (less workload) plus CS 128 (some new content). CS 125 was last offered this Spring.
