This program is intended for mathematically talented students who are interested in the theoretical foundations of computer science. The program will prepare students who may wish to go to graduate school and perhaps eventually become researchers in theoretical computer science, cryptography, or applied discrete mathematics.

Notes

There is no Minor and there is no General Major in Mathematical Computer Science.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE PROGRAM IN MATHEMATICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE

See p. 000 for requirements which apply to all undergraduate degree programs.
For information on individual courses, see calendar entries for Computing & Information Systems and for Mathematics.
Students wishing to transfer to a single major in either Computer Science or Mathematics should consult the chair of the appropriate department before they have completed ten credits.
