Mission

The Computer Science & Mathematics program provides students with the core concepts in both theoretical and applied aspects of mathematics and computing. Our graduates demonstrate a solid foundation in problem solving, communication, and decision-making skills in computing and mathematical areas. We prepare students for productive careers in analytical fields, and to be lifelong learners who can confidently tackle the challenges of a constantly-innovating marketplace.

Learning Outcomes

Use knowledge of the design of complex computational systems to understand their operation, capabilities, and limitations.
Apply knowledge and demonstrate skills to design, implement, and document solutions to a wide array of computational problems.
Demonstrate the ability to make rigorous mathematical arguments in axiomatic and non-axiomatic systems.
