完成副修或双修主修课程可为学生提供原有主修课程的衔接性补充，反映出全面的兴趣和学习课程。学生可以在工程学院主修双学位，然后在字母与科学或创意研究主修。学生不得在两个工程专业中修读双专业。以新生身份进入UCSB的学生必须在总共15个常规季度内完成其学位课程。转学学生必须在总共9个常规季度内完成学位。此规则不例外。计算机工程计划结合了计算机硬件和软件的设计，以满足各种职业应用程序的需求。对学生进行过培训，使其能够使用从小型集成电路到全球通信网络，从数字手表到超级计算机以及从单行程序到操作系统的系统。
For students in the College of Engineering BS in Computer Science degree program, completing a minor or double major offers students a cohesive supplement to their original major, reflecting well-rounded interests and courses of study. Students admitted to the BS in Computer Science may petition to add a double major from either Letters and Science or the College of Creative Studies. Students may NOT double major in two College of Engineering majors. Students that entered UCSB as freshmen must complete their degrees within a total of 15 regular quarters. Students admitted to the BS in Computer Science as junior transfer students must complete their CS degree and the second major within a total of 9 regular quarters. No exception will be made to this rule.
