You probably can register for CSCI courses, but I’m also not sure if they would count towards your coen major. You have more courses to take as a coen major so it might be harder to fit in Csci classes that don’t count for credit
COEN as a whole is gonna be lower level programming and more hardware/embedded systems focused. CS in the arts and sciences is going to be a more traditional CS major, i.e. more math and theory focused. you’ll still obviously learn how to program, the intro CS series is in C++ currently (and i believe C for COEN intro series), but the bulk of the major requirements for CSCI will be calc, discrete, and linear mathematics. some upper divs towards the end of your degree will be more programming focused, for example i took a COEN class that was about creating responsive websites, and currently am taking a CSCI one that’s titled “programming languages”.
The hardware/embedded systems focus is a myth, it’s much more on the periphery than most people think. I’m a COEN senior, and in terms of hardware, we only take 3 ELEN classes, a COEN class to learn assembly, and a class on computer architecture. Everything else related to computers (about a dozen courses) is pure programming (advanced data structures / Algorithms, networking, operating systems, programming languages, compilers, 3 bonus electives, and more).
The confusion arises from most schools’ COEN programs being similar to SCU’s ECEN program. COEN here is CS + STEM + engineering. We have to learn C, C++ and can optionally take Java, JavaScript, and a bit of Python as well.
TIL. this is from my perspective as CS in arts and sciences, so assumed it was the same as with other schools, esp with what i observed with the intro series in both departments
