Kimberly Chichester, Chair of the Division of Natural and Mathematical Sciences
The Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics offers majors in computer science, statistics, and mathematics. This administrative department and its majors emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication while stressing interdisciplinary learning.
The computer science major aims to do the following:
- Provide training in the theoretical and practical aspects of computer science. With attention to applications in science and business, the major directs students toward future graduate study or employment.
- Provide its majors with a general education in computer science and an advanced knowledge of systems and software security through a combination of specialized and general courses.
The major in computer science leads to either a B.A. or a B.S. degree.
