_______________________________________________________
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers two majors: mathematics and computer science, both leading to the bachelor of science degree.

The department also offers three minors: mathematics, computer science, and an interdisciplinary minor in bioinformatics, offered in cooperation with the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences . The bioinformatics minor is available in three variations, depending on the student’s major: one for biology or biochemistry majors, one for computer science majors, and one for majors in other disciplines.

*See the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences  for program requirements for the bioinformatics minor for biology and biochemistry majors.

General Education: University Core Curriculum and Distribution Requirements

See General Education Overview  in the Howard College of Arts and Sciences introductory pages for a list of required and applicable courses.

Note: Any math course taken to meet requirements for a major or minor in the department may also be used to meet the general education mathematics requirement.
