Concentrations in the mathematical sciences prepare students for a wide variety of careers requiring problem solving, logical reasoning, and applications of current technologies. For example, students who have majored in the mathematical sciences have found it to be an excellent preparation for graduate studies in a variety of fields including engineering, law, and medicine. The mathematical sciences department offers majors in mathematics, computer science, and, in cooperation with the Campbell School of Business, a major in decision science. Within the mathematics program, students may elect a concentration in mathematics education.
All programs lead to the Bachelor of Science degree.
This major requires a minimum of 33 hours of computer-science course work. An additional 21 hours of computer-science course work must be completed. Nine hours must be taken at the 300 or 400 level in residence at Berry. Students interested in the decision-science program should consult with the department in which the concentration is planned. The specific courses required are listed below.
