Generally four semesters of calculus for most degrees. Each school and degree may differ, but you need to be able to do modeling for most CS degrees (again, it depends!).

The most important part is probably linear algebra, but colleges usually also require differential equations. Number theory is useful too.

How will a computer science degree benefit me

How will a computer science degree benefit me?
I am an environmental science major specializing in GIS/remote sensing. I have heard that learning computer science and programming makes you attractive to employers, but to what extent? What can I actually do for the average company with a computer science minor or major? I want to make lots of money, and eventually start a business once I have the right foundation.

It will benefit by giving you greater access to high paying jobs. There are plenty of programmers in the world but fewer with remote sensing and environmental science skills. That diversity of knowledge makes you even more attractive even if you don't actually do any work in those fields. A great number of these jobs start in the 70k range and can quickly advance (in a few years) to over 100k.

A Computer Science Degree will be your pass key into Corporate America. The education in itself is priceless.

When you finish your degree you can assess your skills and pretty much choose from what you want to do.

Well, if you're lucky you'll be a IT security professional. Your ability to understand code will help you determine harmful packets from non-malignant.

Can I become a USAF Officer with a Computer Science Degree

Can I become a USAF Officer with a Computer Science Degree?
I've always wanted to join the US Air Force but after college my parents pushed me into college. I'm good with computers so I'm going for a Computer Science Degree, a bachelor's degree. I know that with a bachelor's degree you can enter the USAF as a officer but my Dad say's it depends on if the USAF can use your degree. So can I become a Air Force Officer with a bachelor's in computer science??

Yes, but you will more likely be pumped for a desk based role rather than as a pilot.

I am going to graduate at the end of this year from Seattle University with a 4years Computer Science degree. I live in Washington State and everything seems to be down. It's not like it used to be.

So please help me decide my future.

You have amazon.com, they have openings too! But yes, I would say NYC is probably beating San Jose these days as far as high-paying software development jobs go. In any case, until you're a heavyweight in the industry, expect to be mobile. I've moved 6 times in my first 7 years after college.

It seems to be California or North California http://www.whatsalary.com/us/salary/SOFTWARE-ENGINEER-T6812.htm

Hello...... my thoughts are.... In the "developed" world in which we live it is expected that you must have a certin leval of education in order to find a higher paying job. I have met a few people with limited schooloing who have a high IQ and met highly educated people who well....are not the sharpest tool in the shed. One thing school will give you is the basic knowlage in the field in which you choose to go into. Now what you do with that knowlage is up to you. ...no degree no interview.....C.O's could be/are missing out on some good people with no degree. ...School give you kinda basic training and up to you to develop that. some times we have to do steps 1 2 3 to get to 4 For my self I have been in a number of fields and I have learned knowlage is a good thing....something you onced learned in one field could be used in another. I hope this helps you..best of luck. Gary
