Introduction
Computer science is a science that has revolutionized the world and advances are being made constantly. Computer science spans theory and practice and requires you to think and problem-solve in abstract and concrete terms. In short, getting computers to do what you want them to do requires intensive hands-on experience.
As a computer science major, you will get a broad technical knowledge that will allow you to tackle difficult problems using a variety of hardware, software and programming languages, as well as learn to communicate your expertise to others. Among the areas you'll study are programming, digital systems, database management systems, data structures and computer architecture.
You can also choose a minor to enhance your knowledge in a secondary line of study. Many minors complement computer science well including accounting, family and small business management, fintech and financial innovation, marketing, math, and supply chain and operations management.
