Is a Computer Science and Information Technology Degree the same thing?

I know Information Technology is offered through online classes and Computer Science degrees are offered through a traditional college learning setting. I was wondering if there is a difference as far as curriculum.

Is a Computer Science and Information Technology Degree the same thing?
Usually no. Computer Science involves a lot of programming (different languages such as C/C++, VB.NET, etc.), study of operating systems, compilers, networks, etc.





Information Technology, or IT for short, usually involves more of the business aspect of technology. IT Managers manage Programmers (CS people).
Reply:the Curriculum changes often...but don't do notting on line, U wont learn what U need to no for a good job...take classes in a college setting, because U will have to network very hard to get a job later an.....and the CO will come to the campus to hire you...


mostly if U choose and IT degree they will stick U with a tech call center job...so do it right the first time....
Reply:Computer Science is usually more involved in designing/building computers and software.


IT is running networks, security, infrastructure, etc.
Reply:Information Technolgy is generally the user end of the software.. Computer Technologies woudl be the programmingand hardware end.
Reply:Computer science = more programming.





IT = more computer troubleshooting, networks, hardware and software related.
