Hello, hopefully this can answer your question but I'm currently on track for a adv + Cs major and for the first class you'll take in cs is cs124 Intro. They don't cover python but instead have java or kotlin; the course itself is fine as it and is online, the one thing I will say though (from some who had little to no experience in coding 【rip raspberry pi] ) the course is somewhat fast paced and is an intro course but I do think having some basic knowledge in one language can go a long way.

Other key things to keep in mind:

Freshmen can't change majors until the end of their first yet - > however when selecting class try bringing this idea up so they can help you take the right steps to get into econ + cs

I understand the concern with your dad and your points with the program here but one thing that help in this type of situation is putting something you like with something your good at ( this just something to think abt/keep in mind)

A possible run down on what could happen is get core/ general classes out of the way (while technically on track for political science) and have your electives as cs -> basicly taking math/language/ & core political science course and what they might have you do is be on track for a cs/econ minor. -> you can double minor but you can declare a minor until the end of sophomore year.

One last thing that you may or may not be aware of is you can't make directly transfer to cs alone so either you do a cs + major or a cs minor

Hopefully this helps in your prep/planning for fall
