Computer Science

The computer science (CS) discipline uses scientific and engineering research to improve computing. In general, CS departments emphasize the theoretical rather than the practical aspects of computing, focusing on cutting-edge technologies and fundamental principles rather than teaching marketable skills. At most colleges and universities, CS programs grew out of mathematics programs are often housed in the engineering school. CS training is highly technical and usually involves several semesters of higher mathematics, such as calculus, as well as training in several programming language structure, advanced computer graphics, artificial intelligence, and relational database design. Qualified CS graduates find that their theoretical and analytical skills make them good candidates for job in cutting-edge software development firms. The skills of these graduates may also needed by IS departments that are working with advanced technologies or developing software in-house.
