Computer Science is the study of theory, experimentation and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. If you are interested in software programming, developing new software applications, or using computer technology to solve problems in other fields, you should consider studying computer science. Course subjects include programming languages such as Python and Java, while closely related majors include computer engineering and applied computing. Computer engineering focuses on hardware development, and applied computing is designed to help students apply computer technology to other practical or academic fields, including transferring to a four-year university or college.
