Learn More About Information Technology (IT)
Computer Engineering – Computer engineering deals with the practical aspects of the design and use of computer systems for information processing. Computer engineers research and develop new computer systems, study their reliability and fault tolerance, evaluate their performance, investigate computer communication requirements, or work on artificial intelligence and robotics. In this major, students can learn about hardware design and software systems, as well as theory and applications of computers.
Computer Science – Computer science is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems. It is frequently described as the systematic study of algorithmic (i.e. mathematical) processes that create, describe, and transform information.
Information Science and Technology – Information science is an interdisciplinary science primarily concerned with the analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval and dissemination of information. Practitioners within the field study the application and usage of knowledge in organizations, along with the interactions among people, organizations and any existing information systems, with the aim of creating, replacing, improving or understanding information systems.
Information Systems – Information Systems bridges the business field and the computer science field. An information systems discipline therefore is supported by the theoretical foundations of information and computations such that learned scholars have unique opportunities to explore the academics of various business models as well as related algorithmic processes within a computer science discipline.
