CS/CIS Dual Major

@econcalc

Business majors… being responsible for the security of computers? Sounds scary.

But often reality.

Anyway, IT is mainly about managing computers and their software, while CS is about designing computers and their software.

While on that topic, what ARE the specializations for a CS major? I did a search and found http://cs.stanford.edu/degrees/mscs/specializations/, but is that general or only specific to Stanford?

An undergraduate CS major will take junior/senior level courses in many of the areas listed; at the MS or PhD level, CS majors will do more specialized study in one of these areas. (Of course, the specialty areas may vary somewhat from one school to another.)
