Yep, I'm starting to hear this more and more. Matches my local data. It's a very massive and visible shift in DFW rates.

I'm not denying that. I'm just wondering if anyone measured if there is a correlation effect being induced by CS major declaration requirements.

Barely over a decade ago, CS tended to be a large but not too large major by enrollment in most universities yet nowadays it is the most in-demand major in most universities. You can see this at Stanford [0], but most other programs as well.

The failure rate tripled. So no, it’s not CS major declaration requirements.

And did the rate of students attempting to declare CS also triple?

Are intending CS majors in your university required to take that specific physics class before declaring the degree?
