Software development major

Software developers are critical thinkers who consider all aspects of the business problem, pay attention to the user experience, collaborate with team members and direct the type of code that needs to be developed. Businesses value software development highly—it helps them differentiate themselves from competitors by improving customer experience, facilitating new or improved products and optimising operations.
