Requirements for the Computer Science/Mathematics Double Major
To be eligible for entrance into the double major students must have successfully completed MATH 221 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I and MATH 222 Calculus and Analytic Geometry II with a grade of C or better in each, or at the discretion of the Department.
Students may satisfy graduation requirements for both computer science and mathematics by completing all required courses for computer science with 9 elective credits and PHYS 201 General Physics I, together with the following mathematics courses (which automatically satisfy the computer science breadth requirement):
| Code | Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Required Math Courses | ||
| MATH 222 | Calculus and Analytic Geometry II | 5 |
| MATH 223 | Calculus and Analytic Geometry III | 5 |
| MATH 301 | Linear Algebra | 4 |
| MATH 303 | Set Theory, Logic and Proof | 4 |
| MATH 317 | Differential Equations and their Applications | 4 |
| MATH 350 | Advanced Calculus | 4 |
| or MATH 367 | Elementary Number Theory | |
| MATH 441 | Abstract Algebra | 4 |
| Total Credits | 30 | |
Students completing the computer science/mathematics double major are strongly encouraged to take CSCI 410 Introduction to Data Science or CSCI 431 Computational Models as one of their electives.
