Major Programs
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers two major
programs in computer science. The department also offers mathematics
programs that are described in the separate section on Mathematics (MT).
The major in computer science leading to the bachelor
of science degree prepares students for a career in computer science,
programming or a related technology field, and for graduate study in
computer science. Graduates’ careers span the spectrum of possibilities:
from working for national companies with large, well-established technology
departments to founding entrepreneurial start-up companies at the frontier
of future technology to filling critical support roles in virtually
all possible fields, including medicine, business, manufacturing, consulting,
government, law and research.
The major in computer information systems leading to
the bachelor of science degree prepares students wanting a significant
emphasis on computer science but with a more applied approach in information
technology areas, providing technical and software support.
