Why Major in Computer Science?

Here are some of the reasons you might consider:

An exciting career: Few fields have developed as rapidly as computer science.

At Spelman, we concentrate on the fundamentals of how computer programs work: How is text represented and manipulated? How can we interact with the user? How can we save information in files or send it across networks? How are graphics created? How do microprocessors work? How do we make programs reliable and efficient?
