Ok. I -was- confusing the two, thinking they were the exact thing. My
confusion was made larger because I know someone who is a CS major at
Berkeley, and he is taking basically the same course schedule as I am. As
I said previously, I'm a CE major.

You said that CE (comp engineering) is taught as a "subfield of Computer
Science...". Here we only have CIS and CE. It doesn't seem that our CE is
any less stringent here, at UCSC, than Berkeley's.
