some possibilities: DOD, coast guard, CIA, FBI, NRO, FAA, ATFE, Treasury, Corps of Engineers, dept of state even. there are many possibilities, altho with the economy doing so poorly many agencies are not hiring many people right out of school.

Is Memorial University of Newfoundland good for a BSc Computer Science Degree

Is Memorial University of Newfoundland good for a BSc Computer Science Degree?
I am residing in a Middle East country, studying Application Development at a Canadian College. I applied to Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) for a degree in Computer Science. But I am not sure if it is really worth studying there because I didn't get positive reviews for MUN. Please advice me if MUN degrees in Computing are worth within Canada??

Memorial is a completely valid university and your degree will be a worthwhile one. It is not one of the highly ranked universities and is not known for any strength in computer science. But it will be a valid degree and yes everyone in the country has heard of Memorial.

Memorial University is the largest university in Atlantic Canada, offering more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Memorial has four unique campuses, each with its own flavour. Canada does not offer a ranking system for its 60+ publicly funded universities. So, there are no highly ranked universities in Canada, they are all the same and will give the same quality of education. When selecting a university it is recommended that students research their options and choose a university which offers them the things they feel are most valuable in a university education. This may include factors such as the availability and focus of academic programs, location (rural or urban), student support services, community support and friendliness.

game programming is a type of computer science degree. Comp engineering isnt the same as compsci so dont substitute for that. Anything thats computer science will either say "computer science" in it or "programming" in it.

Is a Computer Science and Information Technology Degree the same thing

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.

Information Technolgy is generally the user end of the software.. Computer Technologies woudl be the programmingand hardware end.


2
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).


3
Computer Science is usually more involved in designing/building computers and software. IT is running networks, security, infrastructure, etc.


4
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....

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