Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Data Science

The Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Data Science offers two major programs in computing: a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with Healthcare Information Technology.

Data science provides powerful approaches for transforming large and complex data into information, knowledge, and intelligent decisions. Data science is a field at the intersection of statistics, computer science, mathematics, and real world application domains.

The major in Mathematics leading to the Bachelor of Science prepares students for immediate employment after completion of the degree or for graduate study.

The major in middle childhood education is administered by the Department of Education. Students who choose this major are required to select two curriculum content areas from language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.

The Bachelor of Arts in Teaching Mathematics prepares students to become teachers of mathematics at the AYA (adolescent and young adult) level. As a teaching mathematics major, you’ll develop advanced knowledge in mathematics concepts and application and receive a solid foundation in educational methods, learning and development, and instructional technologies. You also will gain valuable professional experience both through observing and teaching in AYA classrooms.

Minor in Actuarial Science: 30 credit hours. These courses prepare the students for Exams P and FM of the Society of Actuaries, cover the required Foundational Quantitative content areas and prove the Validation by Educational Experience (VEE) for Applied Stats and Economics.

Minor in Computer Science: 22 credit hours.

Minor in Data Science: 22 credit hours.

Minor in Mathematics: 23-24 credit hours.

The Statistics and Analytics minor is an excellent program for students interested in statistical data analysis in various real-world fields, such as business, economics, public health, psychology, biology, and other sciences. Students will gain significant skills and experience in statistical methods and applications. The Statistics and Analytics minor requires 18-20 credit hours.
