The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers five programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. These degree programs are designed so that all students take the basic University College Core courses, major courses in Mathematics and Computer Science, and flexible elective choices. The department also offers minors in Mathematics and Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Disruptive Technologies, and Geospatial Data Analytics, and courses in statistics. These programs of study prepare graduates for careers in teaching, business, industry, and government, or for further study.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers, in conjunction with the College of Education, the following programs:

• Licensure in Middle Grades Education 6-9, Mathematics Concentration  
• Licensure in Secondary Education 9-12, Mathematics Specialty Area   

Please refer to College of Education program listings in this catalog for more information on these licensure programs. 

Online Degree Completion and Fully Online Programs

The BS in Cyber Security can be completed fully online. The BS in Mathematics and the BS in Computer Science have the online degree completion (ODC) option.
