The Computing field helps students develop analytical and problem solving skills and apply them to today’s – and tomorrow’s – technology. Computer Science provides a strong emphasis on programming and software development for fields such as computer security, mobile computing, game programming, and broadband networking. Information Technology prepares students to build websites and apps, establish and maintain computer networks, and solve problems using data analytics. Students learn about artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity and digital forensics, and data mining.
