While programming and design are two key aspects of CS, the discipline also focuses?on the mathematical and algorithmic part of the computer. Students will also be trained in more advanced?computing techniques such as machine learning, artificial intelligence and graphical computing. Graduates will?be thoroughly equipped to enter the mathematical sectors of the industry to fill roles that span both hardware and?software aspects. They will also be prepared for advanced graduate studies in computing and technology.

Computer scientists are, along with software engineers, among the most in-demand professions in all fields of?technology. The US Department of Labor forecasts 15% growth in CS demand through 2022, higher than the?average for all other occupations.
