The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in mathematics, including a concentration in statistics, to the Bachelor of Science in computer science and to the Master of Science in Mathematics Education. Also available are a track in actuarial science, a track in computational mathematical sciences and a program leading to secondary education teacher certification. The department introduces students to the beauty and utility of mathematics, statistics and computer science in an environment that enhances learning experiences inside and outside the classroom. The department provides up-to-date programs as well as undergraduate research, internships and consulting opportunities.

The major in mathematics encourages students to examine the relationships among pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics and computer science. It provides a foundation for graduate work or careers in applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, actuarial science or secondary education. The major in computer science, which can be augmented to include a minor in mathematics with one additional course, emphasizes software development principles throughout the curriculum and prepares students for graduate study or for careers in computer science, software development or systems analysis. The major in data science encourages students to extract meaning from data by applying fundamental mathematical and computer programming skills to various scientific fields. The data science curriculum prepares students for graduate study or for careers in human and health sciences, physical sciences and engineering, or business and industry.
