Program description
Distinguished professors from across the world will teach you the ropes in this major, and you'll also work in small groups in tutorials and labs to put what you've learned in the classroom into practice with cutting-edge equipment. In this course, you will learn how to collect, convert, analyze, visualize, and interpret data with the use of technology in an efficient and effective manner. This course will teach you the ins and outs of software design, as well as how to incorporate new technologies into existing systems in the fields of science, engineering, and business. Majors in the hard sciences, the arts, business, and engineering will find a lot of use for the practical IT and computing skills they gain.
