MathematicsThe Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers the
Bachelor of Science degree in both computer science and mathematics
and the Bachelor of Arts degree in both computer science and
mathematics. High school certification in mathematics may be
obtained with the Bachelor of Science.
The mathematics and computer science department hires students as
computer lab monitors or paper graders. For information contact the
department administrative coordinator.
Computer Science
Introduction
The Bachelor of Science in computer science provides a strong
foundation for students planning graduate study in computer science
or computer engineering; it also serves as preparation for students
planning to pursue a technical career in computing. The degree
requirements are patterned after the curriculum recommendations
of the Association for Computing Machinery. Elective hours within
the degree allow a student to focus on a particular area of computer
science, such as systems software or numerical computation.
The Bachelor of Arts in computer information systems is intended to
allow a student to gain familiarity with the field of computer science
while at the same time enable the student to prepare for a career in
applications of computing and computing software which emphasize
applied problem solving in a broad context. Applications may be
in some area of business or in some other field. A minor field and
15 hours of business are required.
Laboratory and class assignments use a variety of computing resources,
including Sun workstations with UNIX and numerous personal
computers with Windows XP. All computing resources are connected
to the campus network, which in turn provides access to the Internet.
An active student chapter of the ACM sponsors guest speakers and
also organizes social activities. In addition, ACU students have
distinguished themselves in the ACM's annual regional and
international programming competitions.
CS 495 Computer Science Senior Seminar must be taken the last spring
semester before graduation. A student who delays graduation into
the following spring will be required to repeat the course.
