What is computer studies?

Computer studies is the study of technology, especially computers and software, to solve problems and make life easier. It includes both learning about ideas and hands-on skills, covering topics like computer science, information technology and cybersecurity. In computer studies, students learn how to program, manage networks, work with data and build websites. These skills help them create apps, protect networks, analyze data and help users with tech at work. This field prepares people for careers in software engineering, IT support, web development and cybersecurity, as well as getting them ready for more education in other tech areas.

We also offer a variety of short-term continuing education courses such as networking and security, internet and mobile technologies, desktop publishing and many other computer-related topics.

This is a great time to be in a technology career and we’d like to help you get there — or help you advance in your current career. Please contact us if you’d like additional information about our programs. If you’re ready to get started, apply today.
