Computer Science studies the nature and techniques of problem solving through computation. Understanding computation requires a knowledge of hardware, software, mathematics and logic. The discipline and practice includes the essentials such as psychology, philosophy, linguistics and management theories–computer science connects technology with people. Students can choose one of two streams of study in computer science. The general computer science major is flexible and allows students to create a focus that reflects your interests. The software professional concentration provides the best preparation for a career in software development.
