The Mathematics/Computer Science department offers majors in mathematics and computer science. Minors in mathematics and computer science are also available. There are 8 full-time faculty members.

The Department offers courses of study that meet the needs of a wide variety of students. As mathematics is one of the foundations of the physical sciences and a tool of virtually all the disciplines, the department seeks to give the student competence in the discipline as well as develop the ability to think analytically. The importance of the computer continues to grow at a rapid rate, and the department also seeks to prepare students in the field of computer science.

Majors in mathematics or computer science often enter careers as applied mathematicians, computer scientists, computer or business/computer professionals, mathematically-oriented economists, business persons, actuaries, or secondary school, college, or university teachers. Students with interests in any of these fields may wish to pursue an interdisciplinary major combining mathematics or computer science with, but not limited to, the study of economics or business administration.
