In brief information technology is the use of computers and software to manage information and the jobs which are offered after completion of this stream are usually includes system administrators, database administrators and Information System Managers.

 

Regarding Computer Science  is the study of computers and computational systems, computer scientists deal mostly with software and software systems; this includes their theory, design, development, and application and jobs which are offered after completion of this stream are usually includes computer engineer, computer programmer, computer support services, web developer, webmaster, website developer, video game developer, multimedia developer, graphic designer, business systems analyst and so on.

computer science are focused on the theory of computational application. using algorithms and advance mathematics. computer science invent new methodes or way to mainpulate and transfer information. computer science are generly concerned with software, operating system and implementation.

but it utlized the exiting operating system, software and applications in tandem to create large system and solve a business problem. IT construct a network.

what is Computer Science? Quite simply, it's the hottest, coolest, most exciting, and most dynamic field there is! Choosing computer science as your area of study is a choice that will change your life and open a world of opportunities, limited only by your imagination and creativity. As you know, computers are involved in practically every aspect of your life, including medicine, genetics, finance, agriculture, energy, aeronautics, entertainment, construction, education, manufacturing, transportation, leisure, and communication What is Information Technology? The term "information technology" (IT) has a broad, and sometimes ambiguous, meaning. Often it is used to describe the entire computing industry. However, we use this term to describe an applied stream of courses within our department's offerings. This Information Technology stream has two primary audiences: students in areas of study other than Computer Science, and current practitioners in the IT industry who may wish to enroll on a part-time basis. In comparison with the Computer Science stream, IT courses are less theoretical, have lower prerequisite requirements, and have a greater focus on current trends and technologies. The Information Technology stream is brand new. A large selection of courses have recently been approved for this stream and will be 'rolled out' as students enter this exciting new course area to augment their knowledge and skills.

Hi,

Information technology deal with system adminitration,,and they use the technology but where as Computer science studies indepth concept of technology(EX:how a application work ) they understand the flow or algoritms .

Computer scientists are, in fact, scientists. They are focused with the theory of computational applications. That means they understand the “why” behind computer programs. Using algorithms and advanced mathematics, computer scientists invent new ways to manipulate and transfer information. Computer scientists are generally concerned with software, operating systems and implementation.

 

 

Information technology (IT) may adopt the monikers information systems or systems administration. Essentially, IT professionals are the users of technology. IT utilizes existing operating systems, software and applications in tandem to create a larger system that solves a specific business problem. IT constructs a network from established building blocks to carry out a task, such as an automated supplies ordering service.

information technology is a subset of computer science and it is more practical in nature. 

Computer science is more vast and it is more reseach oriented and will contain information technology. 

Usually IT is the next specialization track after computer science is completed. 

 

hope it answers your question

I agree with Mr. Mansoor Ali Bughio.

Just to make it brief:  

Information technology is the use of computers and software to manage information. 

Computer scientists deal mostly with software and software systems; this includes their theory, design, development, and application.

IT students will study network and database design in depth and in CS students will understand why computers work and can create a program or operating system that does what you want it to do.
