<p>Is there a huge difference between Computer Science, Information Technologies, and Information Science?</p>

<p>CS is generally theory and practice in programming and software engineering. IT is generally using applications and tools. IS is generally business-oriented though it may also involve programming. There is an IEEE document that describes these areas in considerable detail and you might find it interesting to go through the document.</p>
