A very common question people ask is \u201cWhat\u2019s the difference between computer science and information technology?\u201d.<\/em>\u00a0These differences fall into professional and curricular categories.<\/p>\n

At the curricular level, information technology differs from computer science in many respects. First, there is a stronger emphasis on programming in computer science than in information technology. Information technologists certainly build software applications, and programming is certainly a critical skill in IT, but the style of programming in Information Technology differs from that in Computer Science. The typical IT project involves gluing together available components in high-level environments and providing an accessible interface to the functionality of those components provided. The typical computer science application involves writing large programs from scratch using traditional programming languages and focusing on software architecture, data structures, and algorithm development issues. Computer science also requires significantly more math and science than information technology, mainly because extending the underlying technology requires a more thorough mathematical foundation than applying that technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
