WHY STUDY COMPUTER SCIENCE

We ensure you get the skills, knowledge and experience that will help you launch a successful computer-based career.

Computer science deals with the theory and practice of algorithms, from idealized mathematical procedures to the computer systems deployed by major tech companies to answer billions of user requests per day.

Primary subareas of this field include: theory, which uses rigorous math to test algorithms’ applicability to certain problems; systems, which develops the underlying hardware and software upon which applications can be implemented; and human-computer interaction, which studies how to make computer systems more effectively meet the needs of real people. The products of all three subareas are applied across science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences.

Computer science drives interdisciplinary collaboration both across NICTM and beyond, helping users address the critical societal problems of our era, including opportunity access, climate change, disease, inequality and polarization.
