B.S. in Mathematics - Computer Science Option

The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a computer science option is designed for the student who has an interest in both mathematics and computer science. The mathematics component provides a strong foundation in mathematics with an emphasis on applied mathematics. The computer science option allows for a concentrated study in computer science with more flexibility and fewer requirements than a traditional computer science major. With carefully planned electives, this program provides excellent preparation for graduate work in either mathematics or computer science.

Program Requirements

This degree requires the completion of at least 120 semester hours, including at least 41 hours of general education, at least 36 hours of mathematics, and at least 21 hours of computer science.
