<p>I am currently going between the following majors:</p>
<p>Computer Science
Computer Engineering
Information Technology
Electrical Engineering</p>
<p>I have some questions on what possible jobs I could get out of college with one of those degrees.</p>
<p>Which one is involved in Virtual Reality?
Which one is involded in mainly creating software programs?
What are some job examples that I could get with each of them?</p>
<p>My main interest is with computer programming/software but I would like to know what jobs I could get with each of these just to see what’s out there.</p>
<p>If your interest in programming/software, then your best bet would be a CS or Software Engineering Degree.</p>
<p>Here’s a website that can answer all of your questions: [Sloan</a> Career Cornerstone Center: Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math & Healthcare](<a href=“http://www.careercornerstone.org/fields.htm]Sloan”>Career Cornerstone Center: Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine)</p>
<p>Thanks for the link, there’s a lot of helpful information there. Right now I’m really focused on virtual reality and ways to augment the experience.</p>
<p>From everything that I’ve read most contributors to virtual reality have been dubbed as a computer scientist. Am I correct to assume that computer science is closest related major?</p>
<p>NOTE: I am currently a first year student at the University of Cincinnati.</p>
<p>depends… at my school the virtual reality APPLICATIONS center (VRAC) is headed by ME’s; james oliver and eliot winer…I don’t know why though, but i would guess when your talking virtual reality as a tool for engineering problems then it makes sense</p>

<p>Depending on whether you want to develop and use OR develop and understand/study theoretically virtual reality… IT or CS/SE. Computer engineering and EE are too low-level to include applications like virtual reality, unless you study it as an elective or something.</p>
<p>I would caution you that CS/SE and IT are more different than you might think and it may do well to look into it. Again, it depends on what you want to do with it…</p>
