Mission Statement:

The mission of the mathematics, computer science, and physics department is to prepare students for careers and graduate school in their respective majors and minors, including mathematics, mathematics education, computer science, data science, and physics. Our programs develop the problem-solving and analytical skills that help students be successful in a wide variety of career paths. The department’s faculty focus on developing skills that, when combined with a strong liberal arts core, not only prepare students for immediate employment but also prepare them to be lifelong learners who can adapt to ongoing, technological change.

Learning Outcomes:

Solve problems using standard operations on fundamental mathematical objects while showing the connection to the mathematical ideas and theories behind these operations.
Formulate and analyze quantitative models to solve real world problems using mathematical and statistical techniques.
Apply technology to solve mathematical problems and to analyze data.
Communicate quantitative ideas both orally and in writing to a range of audiences.
Identify, explain, and evaluate the ethical implications that arise from the quantitative models they develop and/or apply.
