Percent I'd allocate to each type of credit

  • 5% microeconomics
  • 5% psychology
  • 20% computer science/computer history
  • 30% software engineering/development
  • 10% business
  • 30% misc/electives

My degree is weighted more heavily towards practical software development so that students really feel like they are earning relevant industry skills, but also teaches computer science and offers courses in some other relevant scientific fields. It also encourages doing electives in whatever the hell you want. Theatre, music, history, whatevs.

Very interesting choices! I like that you included misc to pursue your own interests, potentially out of the tech world. Why would you suggest psychology?
