    It really depends on the university you go to and what their SAT scores are. Like I know of a local univeristy that accepts most people and doesn’t need SAT scores that offer both Comp Science and Info Technology degrees. The difference in the programming classes isn’t much harder, just very different what you learn and the Comp Science take a lot of Calculus. Graduates from both programs at that university have worked as programmers in the area I am at. I know a computer science grad from there that told me his SAT was around an 1100 and was the same as a Information Technology grad I know.

    Now lets say you look at Computer Science grads from the University of Chicago, Notre Dame, Northwestern, University of Michigan, Brown University, Washington University, etc I think you will find the programming they do there is much more difficult and different than is what is done in IT/ IS major and the grads from those programs are more capable programmers.
