<p>so, i’m signing up and it’s asking me to pick my field of study and then up to five Majors. The thing is, the Majors are so vague that i have no clue what they are. Can anyone here please define what each of things are and you do in each of them? thanks.</p>
<p>300 - Computer and infomation science and support services
301 Artifical intelligence and robotics (i think i get this. It’s learning how to build robots…),
302 Computer programming,
303 Computer science,
304 Computer software and media applications,
305 computer systems analyisis,
306 computer systems networking and telecommunications,
307 Data processing,
308 Infomation sciences/studies</p>
<p>i’ve tried to research them, but i can’t find anything about them. And yeah, they’re important to me since they are going to be what i’ll be focusing on when i pick a college.</p>
<p>Well sure, but you posted this in an SAT forum, and in terms of signing up for the SAT, which majors you pick does not matter. I know someone who put down some really obscure type of fisherman when she took the PSAT…</p>
<p>If they’re that important to you, shouldn’t you know what they are?</p>
<p>Look, it doesn’t matter which one you pick. If you’re interested in computers just put down computer science as a major. You’re only in high school.</p>
<p>You’ll almost never find most of those majors at an actual college. The main computer-related majors are computer science, information technology, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or some combination of those.</p>
<p>computer science - deals more with the theory and math behind computers (good if you want to be a programmer or go on to grad school)
computer engineering - deals more with hardware with a little bit of a focus on software, greater focus on why computers work and how to make them better
computer information tech. - kind of like the guy who helps people at big stores like best buy, involves very little math/science, very specialized and only concerned with how to fix specific problems
electrical engineering - much broader field, involves lots of science and deals with the very specific things that go into making a computer. not recommended if you want a strictly computer related major because it can deal with anything that uses electricity</p>
<p>The majors will vary from college to college, but generally, this is what they will be about. Look at the colleges you want to go to for specifics about their programs.</p>
