(ELI5) Difference of computer science and information technology

729 views

All my life i thought both of them are the same, now in my last two months in senior high school i need to pick a course to take in college, im really not sure if im going to take ComSci or IT. Not asking for what to take, i just need to know the difference of the two when it comes to what you will be doing in your company.

Computer science will teach you how to program, programming algorithms, programming theory, and basic knowledge about hardware.

I’m a computer scientist and don’t really know what IT will teach you. But I know that people with IT degrees are the people at companies who generally provide technical support to computer users, set up networking, keep servers and computers up to date with security and other programs.

So one is basically to program computers. The other is to fix them.
