No computer science degree needed only to learn coding: Google’s head of Android

Sameer Samat, Google’s head of Android, believes the computer science degree needs a fresh “rebrand,” according to a report by Business Insider.

He explained that many people see it simply as learning to do Java coding, adding, “If that’s what you want to do, you don’t need a degree.”

Samat, who studied computer science at UC San Diego, disagrees with this narrow view. He said, “It’s definitely not learning to code. It is the science, in my opinion, of solving problems.”
