Is CS the easiest STEM subject?

STEM Eligible degrees in US Immigration An exhaustive list of STEM disciplines does not exist because the definition varies by organization. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lists disciplines including:[11] Physics, Actuarial Science, Chemistry, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Computational Science, Psychology, Biochemistry, Robotics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Information Science, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Optics, Nanotechnology, Nuclear Physics, Mathematical Biology, Operations Research, Neurobiology, Biomechanics, Bioinformatics, Acoustical Engineering, Geographic Information Systems, Atmospheric Sciences, Educational/Instructional technology, Software Engineering, and Educational Research

STEM stands for "science, technology, engineering, and mathematics." I wouldn't call CS "science," but it certainly would fall under "STEM."

Of course,
1) This is clearly a troll thread and doesn't deserve serious responses.
2) Only the lamest variety of sperglord actually cares about those kinds of classifications.

>> No.6260261

it's just most of us these days are computer-literate, so people can see through the bullshit.

i'm pretty sure other degrees aren't any better. especially if you factor in the fact that kids these days can start programming at 10-15, unlike guys who begin at 20, expecting the univ to turn them from zero to hero. all in all CS produces more competent graduates than the other branches.
