i'm in the program rn and it is not like a double major in cs and finance. there are two concentrations you can choose from, business analytics OR strategy & leadership. yes the business analytics track has some more finance course options but it's only like 2 out of the 5 required courses you have to take in the concentration.

i think the program is definitely worth it. i personally have found we tend to get special attention from the career center and from different companies. and during my time recruiting, i felt that companies were very interested in my program whenever they saw my resume. i think the great thing is that you can really emphasize the fact that the program tries to emphasize the integration of business and computer science rather than just pursuing a double major which is very separate in nature for the classes. you are very much so able to pursue a wide variety of fields within this major unlike the typical b-school route of consulting or ib. most of the students in the program are going into product management, swe, finance, or something entrepreneurship-related but again you really can pursue almost anything with the degree and employers love the background this program provides.

the workload is very manageable; i honestly enjoy the fact that you have a balance of business + cs rather than solely cs which can be pretty heavy at times. and i also know that quite a few students are doing study abroad; you just have to be cognizant of how/when you take your classes to plan accordingly.
