What is computer science?

Computer science develops students' computational and critical thinking skills and shows them how to create, not simply use, new technologies. Computer science education encompasses "the study of computers and algorithmic process, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their applications, and their impact on society." The new AP computer science course under development focuses around seven big ideas at the core of computer  science-creativity, abstraction, data, algorithms, programming, internet and impact.

How is Computer Science Used in various careers?

Computer science develops students' computational and critical thinking skills and shows them how to create, not simply use, new technologies. This fundamental knowledge is needed to prepare students for the 21st century, regardless of their ultimate field of study or occupation. Over 70% of computing occupations are outside of the information technology industry: 9% are in information services, 12%are in financial services, 36% are in professional and business services, 7% are in government and public education services, And 12% are in manufacturing. College board states studying AP Computer Science can open the pathway to 130  career areas and 48 college majors.
