Regardless of gender, it’s worth checking out a computer science course to see if it’s up your alley. Pretty cool, right?Īlso, a shout-out to the ladies: Only 12% of computer science grads are women! This is a huge problem, both for women who would be happy in computer science and for society in general. Imagine designing a circuit board for the next generation of iPads, creating a satellite program that could warn about an oncoming tsunami, or building a website that connects millions of people. Not only will you learn about computers (hardware and software), you’ll also learn about the real-world applications of technology. So majoring in comp science can be a seriously smart move for the 21st century. Computers are part of almost every part of our lives, from the phones we use to the food we eat.
