Computer science is much more mathematically based, and is much more technical. You will be expected to know how software works and about grass root programming such as assembler or database normalization to an advanced level.
Information technology teaches you how to use computer software to perform various tasks.
CS is for people who want to be programmers, IT is for people who want to be users or to work in non programing areas of the industry.
Depends on the school and their curriculum. When I went to college, a CS major learned about computer programming, data structures, software design, et cetera. IT, (or Computer Information Systems, as it was known at my school) focused more on System and Network Administration.
