Overview
So, you’re into computers. Do you like to program them? Mess around with Linux? Do you have a server running at home? A VPN?
Computer Science introduces you to the software, hardware and networking components of the Information Technology (IT) field and the dozens of college and career pathways where you can apply your mathematical and logical talents. Students earn industry certifications they can put to work right away -- even before graduating from high school.
