Answer 1

Are you sure you want to be a software engineer? Or would you rather be a computer programmer? Or a computer engineer?

Normally, Algrebra, Trig, pre-calculus, and one other type of math.
Either physics or chemistry--some hard science like that.
Depending one your flavor of concentration, Accounting or Business Administration courses. My minor was accounting so I had several including Tax Accounting.
Also, general requirements such as English (writing), History, Psychology, Health, Philosophy, and Phys Ed.
Then you get into electives which can be anything; from Sewing to Artificial Intelligence.
Obviously, you'll have your core classes -- again they depend on your concentration. Computer Architecture, Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Databases, Structured Programming, etc.
Then you'll have your computer electives such as Real Time programming, Web Design, Artificial Intelligence, Natureal Language Processing, Computer Graphics, etc.

It is not necessary to have a minor but it is a huge waste of money to not have a major. If you don't, you'll get a useless degree like "General Studies" which tells your future employer that you are a stupid and useless lout and he's better off hiring Juan Valdez or his coffee-bean-pickin' mule. If you get a minor, it allows you access to some classes that need Advisor or Instructor approval to get into.

Since the classes start out easy, by your senior year the hard classes aren't so hard after all.

Attendance is optional if you can keep up with the assigments and tests. There were 2 or 3 classes I forgot I was taking because I didn't need to show up.
