Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

The Computer science is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems. Computer science degree provides tremendous career opportunities around the globe with attractive pay packages. Computer science education is being boosted by US government. US government is promoting computer science education at all levels from K-12 to higher education. US government has declared computer science as a basic skill that must be learnt by every individual. This trend is being followed by European countries and India. Computer science has served human beings from their personal life to all sectors of business. Computer science evolved and produced new mechanisms and services for human beings. Computing is now supporting human being everywhere from personal life to managing businesses. Such involvement has created great number of jobs for computer scientists. Top careers for computer scientists are: software application development, computer systems analyst, computer system engineers, network system administrator, database administrator, business intelligence analyst, web developer, smart phone application development, computer programmer, big data, cloud computing.
