What is the difference between Computer Science and Information Technology?

As mentioned, Computer Science has more physics and Maths, and the most important, it has more Computer Science topics, like Artificial Intelligence, Operating Systems, Computer Graphics, but Information Technology has more busniness topics, like Marketing, Accounting. But at the end, both can work as programmer, for example, I graduated as Computer Science, and my friend graduated as Information Technology, now we both work the same, but he has more knowledge about bussiness issue which are highly desired in my country, cuz most of our use for software is for bussiness issues rather than computer science and researches issues.\nMy own opinion, computer science needs more creativity, I like it.

computer science\nThe field of computer hardware and software. It includes systems analysis & design, application and system software design and programming and datacenter operations. For young students, the emphasis is typically on learning a programming language or running a computer with little attention to information science, the study of information and its uses.\n\nIf students were introduced to data administration, DBMS concepts and transaction and master files, they would have a better grasp of an organization's typical information requirements.

Most of the guys with computer science degrees that I know are working construction or as the Walmart technology sales clerks.  If you get a degree in computer science, you'd be competing with the 500,000 unemployed computer science grads that are out there right now looking for work.  Nearly all computer work is outsourced to India these days.

Computer science is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems[1]. Many diverse fields exist within the broader discipline of computer science; some emphasize the computation of specific results (such as graphics), while others (such as computational complexity theory) relate to properties of algorithms used in performing computations. Still others focus on the problems involved in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describing a computation, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to craft a solution to some concrete computational problem.

Probably not too directly.  Computer Information Systems is pretty high level.  But when working with computers extensively, the ability to analyze problems and think logically is important.  So perhaps that's the connection.

Computer Science is as much math as it is computers.  Much of the work in CS is designing algorithms, which are often independent of the computers they will be used on.\n\nIf you enjoy working with computers, but don't know much, and want to go into a technical field like programming or systems analysis, then CS should be fine for you, but you also need to like math.  If you're not fond of either computers or math, then it's definitely the wrong major.\n\nIf you just want to learn about computers, there are many courses available that teach you how to use them.  CS is an in-depth approach to the mathematics in computers, not a way to learn how to use them.

Information technology is technology that is involved in the storage, management, manipulation, and communication of information.\n\nOne hundred years ago, if you wanted to remember something, you had to write it down.  You had to file it in a system so that you could remember it.  If anyone else wanted a copy, you had to reproduce it by hand.  If you knew something, like how much weight horses gained when you fed them different ways, you would have to compile the data by hand from several sources.  Interpreting data was difficult for this reason.  And if you wanted to learn something that had to be hands on, like surgery, you often had to travel very far very slowly to see it done in person.\n\nThese days it is possible to store inforation so that it is readily retrievable by many people.  You can examine data more easily.  It is easier to learn things and easier to share what you know.

Computer Engineering broadly means learning, understanding, and designing different aspects of computing systems (not necessarily, PCs).  The different aspects include the study of different architectures of computers like x86, RISC, CISC, 64-bit, different hardware technologies like PCI, ISA, etc, understanding the different components of a computing system such as the CPU, memory management, file management, Operating Systems, networking, etc., programming and implementing such systems.  As a computer engineer, you would take courses in Operating Systems, computer networking, computer architecture, software programming, etc.

Agreed with Mr.Answer,\n\nI am also a Electrical Engineering, Communcation and Computer systems are two different experties.\n\nCommunication- \n\nyou learn about communication equipments,not limited to phones and cellphones, but industrial communication, saving, recording and regenating data without distortion, distribution is important part of it.\n\nComputer Systems -\n\nThis is about computer hardware, not just making hardware, but to see how each hardware react to certain conditions, how to design a custom computer systems for industries, low level progrmming, Automation is another important part of it.\n\nthis course are very interesting, however beware, it is hard , it requires higher level math like, Differential Equations, Diffrential Equation-II, Compex Numbers, Numerical Analysis etc. (not to mention Calculus 1 -2 -3 )\n\nso choose wisely\n\nthanks\nSANDIP

Usually Information Technology is developed to do things more efficiently (at least that is the goal!). For example, webpages and email systems allow companies to more efficiently market their products to customers and even process orders. And internal systems allow companies to more efficiently track inventory, cash flow, personnel, etc.\n\nThe thing most people miss when implementing IT is the human component. The people who will be using the technology must be deeply involved in the implementation to ensure that they are not implementing technology for the sake of technology, but are making current (and/or future) processes easier, faster, better, and cheaper.\n\nI hope that answers your question.

High School or College? \n\nIf High School - go to a tech. school.\nIf College - Major in Computer related classes.

I would say accounting.  I have a CS degree and there are no jobs in CS.  Pretty much all computer work is done in indea these days.  Computers are used more and more, but you don't need a computer programmer to use them anymore.  Computers have become appliances and people use them all the time and don't even realize it.  There are rather powerful computers in cell phones, VCR's, and video games, but you don't need to be a computer expert to used them.  So I'd go with accounting.  A lot of that is done in india too unfortunately, but there is still more demand for accountants that speak english than computer guys.

Computer software engineers combine their expertise in computer science, engineering, and math to design, develop, and test software for home, school, and business use.\n\nSoftware engineers instruct computers how to perform functions like online bill-paying through step-by-step processes of programming and problem solving.

It's the difference between theory and applications.\n\nComputer science teached you mainly the algorithms and theory behind the algorithms.\n\nHowever, Computer Applications would teach you the implementation of those theories.\n\nComputer Engineering would be a mix of Software and hardware(encompassing concepts from electrical and Electronics engineering).

An information technology professional is a person that has a career in the information technology field, such as a computer programmer, systems analyst or network engineer.  Pretty much anyone whose job is to work with computers and the information they provide.

As an area of study it is commonly referred to as information technology management. The study of information systems is usually a commerce and business administration discipline, and frequently involves software engineering, but also distinguishes itself by concentrating on the integration of computer systems with the aims of the organization. The area of study should not be confused with computer science which is more theoretical in nature and deals mainly with software creation, or computer engineering, which focuses more on the design of computer hardware.\n\nIn business, information systems support business processes and operations, decision-making, and competitive strategies.
