COMPUTER SCIENCEComputer ScienceTotal minimum number of credits required for a major in Computer Scienceleading to the B.A. degree — 120.Total minimum number of credits required for a major in Computer Scienceleading to the B.S. degree — 120.Total minimum number of credits required for a minor in computer science— 17.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers a programstudy leading to the B.A. or B.S degree with a major in Computer Science.Interested students may also pursue Computer Science as a minor area ofstudy.

Computer Science MajorThe Computer Science curriculum consists of theoretical as well asapplication-oriented courses and is based on a strong foundationin mathematics. The B.A. degree is intended for those interested inmanagement and social sciences, whereas the B.S. degree requires greaterconcentration in the engineering, natural, and physical sciences. Two tracksof study are offered to satisfy students’ interests and career goals—theGaming and Media Design track and the Classic track. The gaming andmedia design track prepares students for work in the expanded gamingindustry, while the traditional track prepares students for graduate studyand research in the discipline or for employment in government or industry.Students are encouraged, through the pursuit of a minor or second major,to acquire competence in an area that lends itself to meaningful computerapplications.

Because certain required and elective courses are offered in eitheralternative semesters or alternative years, or when demand warrants,degree candidates are strongly encouraged to meet with their advisors ona regular basis to discuss their academic schedule to ensure satisfactoryprogress toward the degree.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers programs ofstudy leading to the B.A. and B.S. in Mathematics. In addition, students maypursue a minor area of study in either Mathematics or Statistics.

Mathematics MajorThe Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers threetracks leading to the baccalaureate degree in Mathematics: the StandardMathematics Track; the Computational Mathematics Track; and the TeacherCertification Track. The Teacher Certification Track provides preparationfor secondary school teaching. The Standard Mathematics Track preparesstudents for graduate study and research in Mathematics or for careers inindustry or government, depending upon the upper-level electives chosen inconsultation with the faculty advisor. The Standard Track, when combinedwith an appropriate second major or minor area of study, can also providean excellent foundation for professions in business and management,economics, law, medicine, and actuarial, computing, engineering,environmental, and physical sciences. Computational Mathematics isincreasingly important in all fields of sciences, especially such fields as oiland gas exploration. In addition, the Computational Mathematics Trackoffers students with a strong interest in both mathematics and computerscience the opportunity to explore the relationships between the two fields.All three tracks share a common core of study in discrete mathematics,analysis, probability, and statistics.

In the Standard and Teacher Certification Tracks, students may opt foreither a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. The B.A. degreeis intended for those who wish to elect more humanities and social sciencecourses, whereas the B.S. degree requires greater concentration in thenatural and physical sciences. The Computational Mathematics Track isoffered only as a Bachelor of Science degree.

Students interested in Secondary Education certification should make anappointment with the chairperson of the Education Department as early intheir program of study as possible in order to plan their professional studies.The Teacher Certification Track is specifically designed to incorporaterequirements necessary for certification in Secondary Education. Uponcompletion of all requirements, students receiving a degree in mathematicswith Secondary Teaching certification will also receive a minor in SecondaryEducation. Questions regarding the requirements for the minor inSecondary Education should be directed to the Education Department.
