Computer Science - What is it?
Computers are an integral part of modern society. People interact with computers and technology on a daily basis using hardware and operating systems, computer software and communication systems, databases, interactive games, educational software and videos. Computer Science programs require a solid foundation in math and science. B.S. degrees typically require advanced study in math, science and computer science courses. B.A. programs include basic computer knowledge and skills and often provide opportunities for multidisciplinary studies, application and specialization in areas such as architecture, engineering, music, mathematics, art, computer animation, computer graphics, science and business. Degrees with titles such as “Information Systems” and “Information Technology” usually focus on applied technical skills, such as learning to use existing products and methods for business purposes.
Areas of Study in Computer Science: Computer Programming, Computer Networking, Algorithms and Data Structures, Operating Systems, Software Development and Design, Computer Graphics, Computer Animation, Databases, Image Processing, Artificial Intelligence and Professional Ethics.
What can I do with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science?
Graduates with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Computing and Software Systems have far reaching opportunities in the computer career field, working as computer programmers, network specialists, systems and data communication analyst, software and hardware engineers, technical consultants and educators. Depending on the position, wages are typically strong ranging from $40,000 to well over $100,000 a year. Resource: Association for Computing Machinery at https://www.acm.org/.
