1 Dr. Mary Lesser, Dean COLLEGE OF PROFESSIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL STUDIES Dr. Timothy Goldberg, Chair DONALD AND HELEN SCHORT SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTING SCIENCES FACULTY: Professors Douglas Burkholder Associate Professors Bjarne Berg Assistant Professor Timothy Goldberg, Razvan (Alex) Mezei, Kristy Van Hornweder MAJORS: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (BA), COMPUTER SCIENCE (BS), MATHEMATICS (BA/BS) COMPUTING SCIENCES The Computer Science major is designed to provide students with a scientific foundation in the study of computers and their uses. A major in Computer Science prepares students for graduate study or for positions in business, industry or education. The required core of CS courses provides a balance between the development of science and mathematical applications and the necessary theoretical fundamentals for the study of algorithms, programming, and the design of computer systems. Electives allow the student to concentrate in one of several areas including web design and programming, object-oriented and event-driven programming, project management, and algorithm analysis. The Computer Science major earns a B.S. degree. The Information Technology major prepares students to meet the technology needs of business, government, healthcare, schools, and other kinds of organizations. Its emphasis is on the technology itself more than on the information it conveys. The IT graduate will possess a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical expertise to handle the information technology infrastructure needs of an organization, including selecting and installing hardware and software, customizing, and maintaining applications, and managing networks. The Information Technology major earns a B.A. degree. MAJORS: COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. NOTE: For students wishing to double-major in Computer Science and Information Technology, required courses for both majors must be satisfied, and at least 15 unique credit hours must be earned in the second major. MINORS: Applied Computer Science, Theoretical Computer Science, and Information Technology. A minor in Applied Computer Science requires twenty-three credits consisting of Computer Science 120, 141, 212, 241, 280, 312, and one CSC elective, and Mathematics 165. A minor in Theoretical Computer Science requires twenty-six credits consisting of Computer Science 120, 150, 212, 250, 280, 312, and Mathematics 124 and 165.

HONORS: Students majoring in Computer Science or Information Technology who are judged qualified by the faculty may, upon invitation, elect to pursue honors work in Computer Science or Information Technology. To graduate With Honors is Computer Science or Information Technology students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and a minimum major GPA of 3.2. In addition, they must complete twelve credits of honors work in the relevant program (Computer Science or Information Technology), including an acceptable senior project, complete an original thesis to be submitted for approval of the faculty, and pass an oral defense of the research.

4 MATHEMATICS The courses in Mathematics are designed to convey to students the logical structure of mathematics and prepare students to apply mathematical models to various areas of problem solving and analysis. A major or minor in Mathematics prepares students for positions in business, industry, or education or for entry into graduate programs. MAJOR: MATHEMATICS MINORS: Mathematics, Mathematics for Scientific Computing, Mathematics for Middle Grades Education, Actuarial Science, and Statistics. A minor in Mathematics requires twenty-two credits consisting of Mathematics124, 165, 166, and three MAT electives (nine to eleven credits) numbered above 200. A minor in Actuarial Science consists of twenty-five credits: MAT 165, 166, 215, 265, 450, 430, and 431.
