About course
Computer science is generally understood as the study of computers and computational systems. These computational systems are, in turn, applied to solve real-life problems across diverse sectors. Unlike computer engineers who typically work with computer hardware, computer science majors are more concerned with software, its development and applications.
Key Takeaways
- A computer science degree prioritizes software design, development and maintenance.
- Computer science majors can specialize in subfields such as artificial intelligence, data analysis and information security.
- ABET’s Computing Accreditation Commission is the accrediting body for computer science bachelor’s degree programs.
