A careers-for-today-and-the future approach provides the framework for programs in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics. All programs are based on an understanding of mathematics as one of humankind’s most impressive intellectual achievements.
Mathematics is a balance of art and science which enriches other areas of human endeavor and draws from those areas some seeds of its own continuing growth.
Computer Science and Statistics, with roots deep in the traditions of mathematics, are exciting, rapidly expanding fields which provide the basis for many contemporary applications which affect us daily in such areas as commerce, industry, medicine, and environmental issues.
Mathematics education focuses on deep conceptual understanding of mathematical and pedagogical content knowledge and on the psychological and sociological aspects of mathematics learning.
Within each major, students choose a blend of mathematics, computer science, and statistics appropriate to building strong foundations for professional development.
New: The Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics now offers a Master of Science in Computer Science program. Please contact our department if you have questions or need further information about this new degree program.
