We've got IT systems, IT applications and CS here.
CS is theoretical; you'll likely learn Haskell and Prolog and a couple of other experimental languages, and you'll learn a lot of the theory underlying CS; you'll study algorithms, logic, and advanced topics like adaptive systems and computer vision.
IT majors are applied; you'll learn about network protocols and security, software engineering practice, operating systems programming, and advanced programming in C, C++ and Java.
Typically, CS majors end up in research positions or algorithm design, whereas IT majors end up as codemonkeys, webmasters or sysads.
Really, it depends on whether you enjoy programming or science more.
