Our disciplines are a part of your transition into higher education which involves being aware that each discipline is a distinct discourse community with specific vocabularies, styles, and modes of communication.
Math and Applied Math majors develop critical skills in problem-solving and analytical thinking. The Math major is a flexible degree that prepares you for an increasing variety of careers where math plays a central role. The Applied Math major prepares students for careers in areas such as mathematical modeling, computing, data science, business management, and consulting. Each major also prepares students for further study in mathematics, statistics, and related disciplines.
Computer Science is problem solving, an essential skill for life. Students study algorithmic processes and the design, development and analysis of software and hardware used to carry out these processes. Since computers are used for a variety of purposes by people in all walks of life, there is a significant human side to computer science as well.
Data science is the study of how we extract meaning from data, and in a data-driven world, this is an exciting time to seek a degree in this field. Data science is unique in that it combines techniques and theories from many fields including mathematics, computer science, probability and statistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, communication studies, art, and ethics.
