Both of them are great course's if you are really into programming. It depends on what school your in and most specially on what you have learned from that course after you graduate. If you really want a lot of good job opportunity in the future, take the Computer Engineering course, aside from Software side you will also be able to master the Hardware side of computers. The job opportunity will be as twice as the two course's you have mentioned.

As you can tell from the two programs they are two seperate tracks of study. Many students often merge the areas of Computer Engineering, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, and Information Technology into one heading. You are smart to stop and take a look at what the differences are and which one will provide the greatest impact in your lifelong goals. With that being said, what you should really decide is what type of role you like the most. The Computer Science is a programming/software development role. The Information Technology track looks to prepare you as more of a generalist from a support perspective. Personally I have enjoyed working and teaching the "IT" and "support" coursework, however I know many that are satisfied with software development. As far as job opportunity, growth, success. Pick the path that you enjoy the most. If you pick one over the other for financial reasons, you may never become fully vested in it as your career choice, as such, your financial reward would be limited. # # # Update in response to email Message: Can you pls add it to your answer which is the best? I wont be able to choose myself which is the better one for me. Thats why I'm asking what's your opinion or suggestion. : : : There are plenty of great careers in both tracks. There are ample jobs in almost the entire world for these positions. I've been happy with my decision in IT, I would not have been happy had I pursued CS. You really need to try them both out for yourself and figure which is the better fit.
