I need to decide my major between those two, but I'm not clear about the difference? What's the main difference? What will it made me? what job will I get? what will I do on that job? Thanks for responding.
Answer
Question:
What's the main difference?
Answer:
Computer science involves more mathematics. It is more intensive when it comes to problem solving and logical reasoning. Therefore, you learn programming in more depth. Courses like Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms, Software Engineering are also thought.
IT involves less mathematics but higher amounts of business courses. It teaches how computer science is applied to business operations. It does not deal with courses such as artificial intelligence and software engineering.
Question:
What will it made me?
Answer:
I am sorry, I don't understand your question.
However, if you are inquiring about salaries, it depends on which country you live in. I know about Canada, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. In those countries, both IT and Computer Science graduates can make good money.
Question:
What job will I get?
Answer:
Computer Science - Data Analyst, Database specialist, Software engineer, human-computer interface specialist, computer programmer, algorthmic analyst, computer scientist, general IT jobs.
IT - Data Analyst, business analyst, database specialist, computer programmer, general IT jobs.
Question:
What will I do on that job?
Answer:
First of all, jobs are easier than the studies. As long as you meet the deadlines - it's all good. Having said that, both IT and computer science jobs involve using computer science methods to help solve problems with business operations.
However, if you work in pure research environments, computer science jobs are purely technical and research oriented.

Computer Science: Info systems/Information Technology/Science?
Q. I'm filling my college application and under the degree of choice, i picked computer science, but have to choose between 'Info systems', 'Information technology' and 'science' guessing 'science' is main computer science. What exactly is the difference? Which should i choose?
Little about me, if it helps.
I'm kinda good in math, but i need a paper or something for rough work, can't really do all the math in my head and i'm not all that fast
I would love to master in the security field
I enjoy running websites, its my hobby basically ( this is basically what made me choose computer science), would love to know how to code dynamic website scripts.

Answer
Colleges have a lot of latitude in what they call these degrees and what courses that make up the major. Generally speaking most schools will offer a Computer Science (CS) degree that is primarily Programming related and will likely include some advanced Math courses. I suspect you have figured out the Science inside Computer Science is the Programming emphasis it sounds like you want. I will give you fair warning - A Computer Science degree program is very difficult. Programming is not for everyone and many very intelligent people transfer out of this major.
It is extremely important to graduate with a 3.0-35 GPA grade average. Employers often look at that information when considering new hires. If you start out in CS and feel your grades sinking below 3.0 you need to bail out and get into another Computing major before your GPA is damaged. I'm not saying that if you graduate with a lower grade average you are doomed but it will take longer to find a job since employers often look at that number.
The other half of Computing majors is Computer Infomation Systems (CIS) which may also be called Information Systems or Information Technology. This is a more general Computing degree and usually does not have as much Programming and Math as a pure CS degree.
Now this is where it gets really confusing. If you want to do Computing Security you can do that with either of these degrees. I have a CIS major and work in Computing Security and the person who I am training to take over my job, is a Computer Science major.
So I would not get too hung up over what major you pursue as either can eventually allow you to do Computing Security work.
Best wishes!
