Are those the only possibilities?  Couldn't it be an Art?
The answer, obviously, is it's all three: if you want to be a
programmer and make $30K to start, it's a trade school subject.  If
you want to build something that changes people's lives in the long
run, it's a science.  And if you follow Phaedrus and throw in a good
measure of Quality (in either case) it's an Art.
