I am debating on what degree to get. I have to decide by December before the classes start being different.
I want to know what the differences of a degree in Information Technology and Computer Science. From what I understand CS is more theory and IT is more hands on.
What types of jobs can you get with a Computer Science degree?
What types of jobs can you get with a Information Technology degree?
Is there a salary difference as well?
Any help will be awesome.
Answer
A computer science degree focuses primarily on programming with an emphasis on the foundations of computers rather than software and hardware applications.
An information technology degree focuses on application integration, analysis and management. This degree has a greater focus on communication and business.
Basically if you have a good logical mind and like programming, then go for the Computer Science degree, if programming is not your strong point and you like more of a business field, then go with the IT degree.
With a CS degree, jobs are varied, from software engineers, to database admins, to tech support, to interface designer and web development.
An information technology degree is used to obtain jobs such as network manager, web development, messaging administrator, web analyst, business analyst, project manager and technical analyst.
Pay depends on the actual job you take, there are many choices, so it depends on what you end up doing and the company you work at. But both degrees can end up with you earning the same amount from the other degree. Software Engineers will get high pay, so will some Network and project managers.

Hello Every One, Please tell me in Engineering Field Which is better Computer Science or Information Technology........... And Please also Explain What is the Difference in Detail Please........
And also about their Jobs.........
Thanks in Advance......
Answer
1.Computer Science is the science of computers while Information Technology may or may not use computers. Of course there is a big overlap but in general computer science handles the technical working of computers whilst IT is concerned more with information manipulation and the business requirements
2.I think that computer science is concerned with the principles and concepts that are behind the emergence of IT. In other words, CS is academic studying of the S/W and H/W concepts but IT may have specific purposes to be studied.
3.From a very broad perspective, Computer Science is the study of the principles of computing. It helps you better understand how computers solve problems, the kinds of problems that a computer can solve and how one would present a problem to a computer. Abstract ideas that rely on fundamental mathematical theories are at the heart of Computer Science. Information Technology is the study of technology that drives Information Systems for businesses. Understanding how technology/tools can best meet the Information management needs of an organization is at the heart of IT.
4.As a computer Scientist migrated towards Information Technology I can say that a computer science is the study of computer's design and operation. But Information Technology is the use of the computer for a specific purpose without knowing the details of how the computer is carrying on all these tasks.
5.First you have to understand the differences between science, engineering & technology. Science is a systematic & specialized way of thinking.A scientist thinks & makes principles & hypothesis. Engineering means the practical implementation of principles & hypothesis for the welfare of human beings with the help of machines. At first he makes drawings on the basis of principles, and then take it to real world for use. Technology always deals with OPTIMIZATION (MAXIMUM GAIN WITH MINIMUM EFFORTS)with the help of newer supports like computers & transfer machines. We use computers as a tool. The aim of IT is to make our information more profitable by making it recently & attractive
6.Computer Science is a part of IT. Computer Scientists are generally responsible of building the tools(OS, Compiler, Database...) used in IT, where as IT technicians are responsible of using these tools to make real world applications.
7.This question is very tricky and needs to be answered very carefully. The basic difference is that information technology is about transmitting information and gathering it, whereas computer science is something related to computers and only computer, such as software. IT people can be considered more of a general management subject
8.Computer Science refers to the science or details of computers - which includes the design of software (such as compilers, Operating Systems), design of hardware (such as RAM, CPU etc), networking etc. Information Technology is the application of Computers towards organizing and efficient retrieval/reporting of information. A useful, if somewhat crude analogy could be the difference between "heat, cold, humidity, water "etc (which is like computer science) and Meteorology (which uses the information about cloud, humididy etc to predict weather)
9.The former is a basic science and the latter is an applied science.
