Computer Science graduates will be able to adapt to new technologies and new ideas in computing. Computer Science program spans a wide range, from theoretical and algorithmic foundations to developments in new areas such as Internet-of-Things (IoT), robotics, intelligent systems, cyber-security, and others.
Computer Science graduates analyze, design, and develop all types of computer systems, from systems infrastructure (operating systems, communications networks, etc.) to application technologies (mobile apps, web applications, databases, etc.). The work of computer scientists can be grouped into the following categories:
- They design and implement software. They take on various programming jobs. They also supervise other programmers, keeping them aware of new approaches.
- They devise new ways to use computers. Progress in the computer science areas of networking, database, and human-computer-interface enabled the development of the World Wide Web. Researchers are working with scientists from other fields, e.g. to make robots become practical and intelligent aides, to use databases to create new knowledge, and to use computers to help decipher the secrets of DNA.
- They develop effective ways to solve computing problems. For example, computer scientists develop the best possible ways to store information in databases, send data over networks, and display complex images. Their theoretical background allows them to determine the best performance possible, and their study of algorithms helps them to develop new approaches that provide better performance.
- Graduates will be highly-sought after by employers and earn good starting salaries. Our graduates can expect to gain employment as information technology engineers, analysts, administrators and programmers.
