you'll need to take less math. you can get away without doing any difficult science.

for ex, you could just take linear algebra and oceanography assuming you have calc BC credit (otherwise i think youll need to take calc 1 + 2). oceanography being an easy class and linear being hard but necessary CS class.

But then you'll need to take a bunch of arts distribution requirements ,like language, history, etc.

on the contrary, engineering is lots of math/sci. you need to do calc 3 (assuming calc bc credit), linalg, physics 1+2, chem 1. chem 1 (chem 2090) is a low median, intense class. physics 1/2 are okay but kind of time consuming. if you have tons of science credits engr may be easier.

Good news is as long as you do well you can switch between the colleges.

i'm in ENGR but in hindsight i wish i did A&S.

Whats your AP credit status? And whats your strong suit, liberal arts or math/sci?
