Computer science major here.
I recently completed calculus I, II, III. Now I know that I'll probably be required to take linear algebra.
So far, I expect to do some Gaussian elimination (assuming I know what a row echelon is).
What else should I expect from linear algebra?

You should get vector spaces, change of basis, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Linear Algebra is by far one of the most useful courses ever, particularly if you take quantum mechanics soon after.
