Study in Computer Science
Computer science is the study of computers and computational systems. It is a broad field which includes everything from the algorithms that make up software to how software interacts with hardware to how well software is developed and designed. Computer scientists use various mathematical algorithms, coding procedures, and their expert programming skills to study computer processes and develop new software and systems.
Are you interested in software engineering, systems development and evaluation, intelligent systems and informatics, or the theory of computing? We’re living in an information age and have come to depend on information technology and the complex ways in which information is stored, transmitted and processed.
