The Department of Computer Science and Mathematics offers coursework leading to bachelor of science degrees in both computer science and mathematics, as well as minors in these fields. Some mathematics courses may be taken for graduate credit in support of a master of education degree in secondary education with a specialization in mathematics.

Additionally, a pre-engineering program in which students complete most engineering core curriculum requirements before transferring to other universities to complete their engineering degrees (a suggested course sequence is included in the mathematics section).

The computer science program provides professional training in computer science for students interested in becoming software engineers or high school computer science teachers, or simply in augmenting other skills with the requisite knowledge of computers and programming necessary to be successful in the modern workplace.

The mathematics program has as its primary goal the preparation of model teachers of mathematics at the elementary and secondary levels. A broad variety of coursework at the undergraduate level has been designed to support this goal, as well as to adequately prepare students for careers in industry or for further study in graduate school.

Degree Plans are located on pages 189 (Computer Science) and 193 (Mathematics) of the 2004-2006 Catalog.

The department is located in the Academic and Computer Resource Center and works in cooperation with, but independently from, the campuswide computer center also housed there. The computer center is equipped with up-to-date personal computers, many major software packages in both computer science and mathematics and laser printing capabilities.
