A degree in computer science = a job in biochemistry?

Well, maybe.  As technology advances, computer scientists are becoming more and more integral parts of various fields.  Take biochemistry, for example.  A recent article from Science Daily examines a game (designed by computer scientists) that allows users solve puzzles by manipulating (”folding”) proteins.  Zoran Popovic, Ph.D., an associate professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle says, “I know that some of our users have kind of described it as Tetris on steroids or something.”

So, keep in mind how much you might contribute using the various skills you learn while studying computer science at the College of Charleston.  That game programming course (CSCI210) might get you farther than you think.
