Computer Science
Computer Science is a Bachelor's of Science program offered by the Georgia Institute of Technology. Housed in the College of Computing, one of the six major colleges that make up Georgia Tech, it is the largest major at Georgia Tech (barely beating out Mechanical Engineering).
Contrary to popular belief, Computer Science is not the study of writing code. Computer Science is a primarily academic discipline that studies the theoretical conceptualizations and practical constructions of a computational machine, the algorithms that can run on those machines, as well as their applications to computational and non-computational fields. Topics and career paths that exist within this broad field include theoretical computer science (such as algorithm design and the study of computation and efficiency), computer systems, computer architecture, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, computer simulation, information transmission, human-computer interaction, and of course, software engineering. Computer Science has subfields that are also closely related to Electrical and Computer Engineering, primarily the construction and programming of computer hardware, as well as subfields strongly correlated to math, such as machine learning and algorithm design,
