hey guys,
so I am deciding between computer science coop and computer engineering coop at university of waterloo and I have heard that a considerable number of people transfer out of computer science to other math related fields like accounting or finance because the theoretical math taught in comp sci is too difficult and not very practical and I am wondering if this is true.
Have you guys heard of this before and if this is true can you give me a rate on how many transferred out for this reason in the past year or so?
Any help is appreciated :)

You may want to look on the Common University Data Ontario (CUDO) area of Waterloo's website. The data is a couple years old, but you should still get an idea. Highlights: PROGRAM GRADUATION RATE Computer Science 86.0% YEAR RETENTION RATE* Year 1 to Year 2 89.4% * all programs University of Guelph
Software Engineering, 2016
Applications (for Fall 2012):
University of Waterloo - Computer Science (Alternate offer to Geomatics, May)
University of Guelph - Software Engineering (Accepted, March)
Carleton University - Computer Science: Game Development (Accepted, February)
Carleton University - Interactive Multimedia and Design (Accepted, March)
The University of Western Ontario - B.Sc. Computer Science (Cancelled application)
First semester (mixed w/ grade 11 marks) average: low-mid 80s
Second semester midterm average: 81.33%
