Computers and information technology now permeate human society.
People in almost any career find themselves using computers, many on a daily basis. This
activity is supported by computing professionals who work in many areas, including
computer design, software development, systems management, technology, consulting and
computing education. Study in the field of computer science provides both computer users
and professionals with an understanding of what is computable, how it can be computed and
how the power of computation affects human society.
The computer science curriculum stresses the underlying theory and
abstraction of computing, providing students with a broad foundation on which to build
more specialized understanding. At the same time, the curriculum seeks to combine these
principles with the design of applications current to each topic.
