Studying mathematics, data science and computer science
Mathematics and computer science offer analytical tools and critical-thinking skills to all of us.
At ÃÛѨÊÓÆµ, you can major or minor in mathematics, data science or computer science. For mathematics, our flexible program provides a strong foundation in calculus, linear algebra and analysis, while also allowing you the freedom to tailor your experience to your interests. Whether these interests are in applied mathematics, pure mathematics, continuous or discrete, you will develop the mathematical tools and habits of thought here that will help you thrive as a lifelong learner.
We live in a world becoming ever more reliant on technology and data, and our programs in data science and computer science are designed to better understand the complexities of these facets of modern life. In computer science, our program is designed to help you build a solid base in programming, software engineering, cybersecurity and networks and systems. Our data science program is ideal for students who wish to develop strong analytical, quantitative and communication skills. It provides a solid foundation in both the techniques and the inherent ethical considerations that prepare students for further work in data science, whether in future employment or graduate study.
In and beyond the classroom
Our courses of study have been designed to provide:
- A precise study of core undergraduate mathematics for those interested in graduate studies in mathematics, and careers in mathematics or data science.
- Support in disciplines in which advanced mathematics plays an important role, such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and economics.
- Flexibility to earn double majors with a second field of study if you wish.
- Mathematical literacy and quantitative reasoning skills.
- Deep exposure to a wide variety of computer-related concepts, skills and machines.
You will take off-campus travel courses that count toward your major or minor, join in math or computer science competitions, pursue student-faculty collaborative research, and follow other ÃÛѨÊÓÆµ mathematics and computer science alumni in pursuing a variety of meaningful careers.
