What’s computer science? It can mean many things and includes topics such as cloud computing, user interface design (UI), software development, artificial intelligence (AI), data science, cybersecurity, cutting-edge educational tools and more.
At JWU, we know this field is constantly evolving — some of today’s most in-demand careers didn’t even exist ten years ago. Today, programming and cybersecurity are key, but five or ten years from now it might be something completely different. But one thing remains constant in this industry: the ability to solve problems to improve people’s lives.
Here, in addition to a general computer science degree, you can choose a specialization in either software engineering or network engineering. You’ll study the design, development and analysis of software and hardware used to solve problems in a variety of business, scientific and social contexts.
