The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers programs of study leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science and a minor in computer science.  The program is based upon guidelines as specified in the latest report by The Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula of the IEEE Computer Society and The Association for Computing Machinery.  The department regularly reviews and adapts the program to ensure that it continues to satisfy these guidelines, but also meets the needs of the students and the organizations of which they will be part. By staying abreast of changes in the industry, the faculty is able to incorporate new technologies and ideas into the program and to provide students with a solid foundation on which they can build during their careers. Throughout the program, the theoretical concepts of computer science as well as the practical issues of implementation are stressed. Emphasis is placed on the "complete" problem-solving process.

The intent of the program is to educate future leaders and innovators in computer science by providing excellent instruction and educational opportunities.  While adhering to the academic missions of the administrative units of which it is part, the program strives to:

• emphasize a strong background in the fundamentals of computer science in order to foster intellectual maturity in the discipline;
• provide students with a broad and durable technical foundation in an environment of rapid change; and
• prepare students for life-long learning in the discipline as well as advanced studies.
