Major requirements
This program is intended for students who are interested in computer science and mathematical computing. It provides a solid knowledge of theoretical computer science and its mathematical foundations and compares favorably with other theoretically-oriented computer science programs. The program is particularly recommended to those students who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree in computer science or computational mathematics.
Bachelor of Science major Requirements
The course requirements for the major are the following: C+IN SC 1068, C+IN SC 1166, C+IN SC 2107, C+IN SC 2166, C+IN SC 2168, C+IN SC 3207, C+IN SC 3223 and two C+IN SC Electives; MATH 1041, MATH 1042, MATH 2043, MATH 2101, MATH 3003 or 3098, MATH 3031, MATH 3043, MATH 4096 and two Math Electives; Science I and II, which can be either Chemistry 1031/1033 and 1032/1034 or Physics 1061 and 1062.
Writing Intensive Requirement for Bachelor of Science
Students must take a minimum of two writing-intensive courses as part of the major. Following is a list of courses that can be used to satisfy the writing-intensive requirement: C+IN SC 4298, C+IN SC 4397***, C+IN SC 4398***, MATH 2196, MATH 3098, or MATH 4096.
