What is the difference between BIT and Computer Science?
Computer Science (CS) is a degree program within the College of Engineering. It focuses more on the mathematical and theoretical aspects of computing, and specifically on the development of computer programs and operating systems. The freshman math courses for CS are more rigorous than the math courses for a business degree, and the computer programming requirements are significantly greater in CS. BIT is more of an “applied” program in which the computing tools of information technology and systems development are applied to the solution of practical business problems. This requires an extensive background in the various business functions including accounting, finance, management, and marketing that BIT students receive in their first five semesters of study.
