Computer skills are useful in practically any career. Every semester, this fact fills the seats in computer science classrooms at vocational and technical institutions, colleges, and universities. People who are at the cutting edge of computer technology are valued on campus just as much as they are in the business sector. 

Computer science instructors, like those in other disciplines of study, teach classes and conduct research. They frequently focus their courses in a specific field, such as computer engineering, programming, or information systems theory. They plan, deliver, and grade lectures, assignments, and exams, as well as supervise laboratory sessions. Doing research include creating studies, gathering and analysing data, and publicising the results. 

Faculty in computer science work in offices, classrooms, and computer labs. Their timetables vary according to the courses they teach and the amount of consulting and research they undertake. Some devote extra time as department chairs or advising students, assisting them in class selection and scheduling. A doctoral degree is frequently required for advancement to administrative roles, especially at four-year universities. 

Most full-time faculty posts are highly competitive. Graduate-level computer science lecturers had higher job prospects. Because students are frequently enticed away by enterprises first, there are fewer applicants fighting for academic employment. Some teachers work outside of academia and offer their professional skills, expertise, and contacts with students as part-time or adjunct faculty.
