What the college says

You will need to have a keen interest in problem-solving, an ability in mathematics and a fair amount of resilience to learn computer programming in Java as well as the study of the theoretical aspects of computer science. Computers and computer systems are ubiquitous. Society depends on computers and because the field is fast-paced, there will always be a need for skilled people who know how computers work, are fast learners and adaptable.
