Mathematics and Computer Science
Chair: Michael B. Gousie
The mathematics and computer science major brings together aspects of theoretical and applied work that reinforce each other well. The major provides sound undergraduate preparation for a world of work that increasingly involves computer use. The major also provides excellent preparation for graduate study in computer science or applied mathematics, as well as in quantitatively oriented programs in management or public policy.
