A "Bachelor of Computer Education" (B.C.Ed) is a specialized degree for teaching, while a more common undergraduate degree is the Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA), which focuses on software development and IT skills. The B.C.Ed equips graduates for careers as computer science teachers and trainers, covering topics like computer fundamentals, educational technology, and pedagogy. The BCA, a three-year program, provides a foundation in areas like programming, database management, web development, and cybersecurity for careers in the IT industry.
