Major in Computer Science (Math)
Computer-related courses with a focus on scientific and mathematical traditions of analysis and abstraction.
As a computer science major, you will study computer-related courses influenced by the scientific traditions of observation, hypothesis, proof, and the mathematical traditions of analysis and abstraction. The major can bolster your pursuit of graduate studies in computing; lead you to a career in industry, business, or government; or help prepare you for secondary school teaching of computer science. Majors may, if they wish, choose emphasis in cryptography and security.
