BA in Mathematics and Computer Sciences

This joint major combines elements of mathematics with those of computer and information science in a program that offers an alternative to a major in either single discipline. The knowledge you gain in this major is hugely practical in the real world. Computer science offers the challenge and excitement of a dynamically evolving science, the discoveries and applications of which affect every aspect of modern life. You will choose classes from areas such as programming languages, modeling and simulation, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence. A strong mathematics background will allow you great flexibility. The program emphasizes mathematics as part of a liberal arts education, so coursework provides basic mathematical and statistical training for students in social, biological, and physical sciences. Working in these fields, you will not only use mathematics to calculate percentages for data, but will know the proper formular to analyze, compute, and utilize that data.
