How does computer science differ from Information Technology (IT)?
The IT major is an interdisciplinary degree that focusues on the use of computers and computing to solve problems and the broader environment in which this is done. IT majors take some of the same courses as CS majors (e.g., Computer Science I and Data Structures), along with courses from HASS and Management. IT majors also elect a concentration in which to focus their study of IT. All of Rensselaer’s academic schools offer concentration choices for the IT major.
