Undergraduate GSSP - Computer Science (3-Semester Mixed Pathway) Transfer to Bachelor of Science - Computer Science at Queens College of The City University of New York

Computer Science encompasses the theory of computation, algorithms and data structures, programming methodology and languages, and computer elements and architecture. Programming is only the best-known skill in a discipline that has numerous specializations. Computer scientists design and build systems and applications for use in every field of science and technology, in the arts and media, in government and administration—in short, throughout modern society.

Computer scientists also are shaping the industries of tomorrow through areas like bioinformatics. Most computer science is pursued in teams that address technical goals from many standpoints; these range from the local, face-to-face workgroups to networked, globally distributed projects composed of people from different nations.

A degree in computer science is a launching pad for technology-related professions as well as graduate study. The Queens College computer science department frequently coordinates career opportunities for its majors with industry and government agencies.

With technology becoming increasingly integrated into every aspect of society, a background in computer science is more in demand than ever. If students have strengths in the areas of technology and problem solving, a computer science major may be the right fit.
