I began my college life wanting to study computer science; it isn't a bad profession to study but in that program, you're going to have the WANT to actually study this. Since you've already taken a few programming classes in school, you might know the basics of Computer Science.

I really don't know much about that field of study, I only took it for a year before I decided that's not what I wanted to study.

If you are more interested in programming I would recommend going into Computer Science as your major. However, you will have to take high level math courses. Cyber security is more networking, maintaining systems, security protocols, and learning about malware to see how it works. Of course there is a lot more than just the few things I've listed about the majors. I suggest you look at your colleges majors guidelines to see what courses you will be taking and what you will be studying for each of your interested majors.

Computer science major here! Anyways I picked computer science over strictly software development just because if I was to get bored of software development majoring in computer science would allow me to virtually do what I wanted (Networking or hardware support). Any questions pm me!

Cyber Security for sure that's what I would go with, it's one of the biggest things on online today. Learning about Cyber attacks, security is interesting to know as long you know what you're doing you'll have no problems.

It depends on exactly what you want to do, do lots of reading and talk to others in those fields

PostMalone wrote Im going away for college next year and i dont know which im going to take yet. Before any body says it, im not using an online forum to decide my future, im using it to gather information.

I know about programming, i took some programming classes in high school so have some knowledge on what it entails. But what im confused about is going into the major of Cyber Security or Computer Science.

If you have any knowledge on either of these fields please leave it below!

Thanks!

I'm at UMD for computer science and I love it

you can do a lot with a computer science degree including getting into cyber security, Id reccommend going with that unless you are dead set into only doing cyber security. You can always change after a while too. - 4th year computer science major

I would suggest computer science as it covers such s wide range of useful topics.

Computer science would probably be the way to go.
