Ask yourself, "What do I like to study?", "What am I good at?", "What kind of work do I see myself doing?" Computer Science is about problem solving, is a highly diverse field with many career opportunities, and is a major that prepares you for your graduate studies in other areas (e.g., law, business, medical, engineering).

Break the stereotype about Computer Science. Women do not suffer fro many inherent disadvantage when it comes to studying, understanding, and applying computer science concepts. Far from it! Computer Science involves much more than programming. In a nutshell, it's about finding interesting and innovative ways to solve problems.
