A major in computer science or computer science and engineering provides the solid background needed for graduate study. Graduate school is advantageous for students interested in positions of a higher level of creativity, responsibility, and salary in industry or academia.
Graduate study is a prerequisite for a career in academia.
It involves more than simply taking more courses. This changes the students' outlook on the field completely. It produces a feeling of confidence, especially when research papers are published, since the student has made a contribution to the world. There is a financial contrast between undergraduate and graduate study. While undergraduates typically pay to go to school, graduate students are often paid to go to school.
