Computer Science

Computers are part of almost everything we do, from GPS systems in the cars we drive to the cell phones and music players we use. Because computers are so much a part of our society, most businesses and other organizations use computers extensively. In fact, the most rewarding careers, both financially and intellectually, need a deep understanding of computers and computing.

Computer Science is the study of computation and its application through the use of computers. Computer science is a fascinating and challenging subject that deals with big questions like, "What is intelligence and can we reproduce it in a machine?" Or, "How do we make sense out of the billions of gigabytes of data on the Internet?" As a computer science student, you will explore these exciting topics and many more.

Computing drives innovation in many areas including business, engineering, entertainment and science. It is the intelligence and creativity of the computer scientist that is responsible for the technological innovations that have so radically transformed every aspect of our society and our lives. Computer software, the instructions that computer scientists give to computers, have provided the necessary tools to unravel the human genome, research AIDS vaccines and monitor the environment (to mention a few). If you want to make a positive difference in the world, study computing.
