Computer science deals with the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and with practical techniques for their implementation and application. Virtually every discipline – practical, theoretical or creative – is experiencing the influence of computers. The ever-increasing dependence on computer technology in our daily lives presents rich opportunities for those interested in the design of new applications and systems. Every career can benefit from a deeper understanding of computing. The technology skills a major in computer science helps develop will make each student indispensable and relevant no matter their position.
