Computer Scientists master the theory and practice of computing, and explore new and exciting ways to use computers. Systems like Google and Amazon are created by computer scientists.
By the time you are a senior you are prepared to design and program a compiler, or program a number of artificial intelligence programs. Or, you could work with a computer engineer to help do robotics, or with a graphic artist to design and program games.
Also, a networking specialization in the Computer Science degree program is designed to prepare you with strong internet-related programming and/or engineering skills. In addition to core computer science courses, you will complete in-depth courses in networks and Internet operations as well as gain extensive experience in web and network software development.
Combined with electives in areas like mobile device programming and game development, this degree prepares you for employment opportunities in client and server-side web application development, computer network engineering and security, and mobile device application development.
