Culminating Experience Courses

CISS 493 - Senior Seminar in Computer Information Systems 3 hours  (Computer Information Systems)
CISS 494 - Senior Seminar in Computer Science 3 hours  (Computer Science)

The Computer and Mathematical Sciences Department offers Bachelor of Science degrees in computer science, computer information systems, management information systems as well as mathematics. Students are provided with a rigorous theoretical background coupled with practical and essential skills to begin either a rewarding career in the computer field or advanced studies in graduate school. The programs reflect important trends and developments in the computer field.

The computer degree programs are based on Computing Curricula 2001 prepared by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society. The computer science degree has a significant mathematics component while the computer information systems and management information systems degrees require several business courses. The degrees provide a wide variety of elective courses that allow the student to tailor a program of study to match their interests.

Students majoring in Computer Science or Computer Information Systems are required to purchase a laptop computer no later than the semester in which they enroll in CISS 245 - Advanced Programming 4 hours .

MATH 493 - Senior Seminar in Mathematics for Teachers 3 hours  

MATH 494 - Senior Seminar in Mathematics 3 hours  

The Computer and Mathematical Sciences Department offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. The degree provides students a mathematics education in the context of a liberal arts and sciences college. A mathematics major is excellent preparation for professional employment in a variety of areas such as business, technology and actuarial science, for teaching at the secondary school level and for entry into medical or law school.

The program is also designed to give mathematics majors a solid background for graduate study, not only in mathematics but in related areas as well.
