THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE offers a major and minor in Mathematics, a major and minor in Computer Science, a major in Computer Information Systems, and a dual major in Mathematics and Computer Science.
The major in Mathematics is designed to be excellent preparation for a career in business, industry, research, or mathematics education. With training in mathematics, a graduate has a competitive advantage in securing employment in analytical professions such as accounting, financial analysis, and actuarial science. Also, the mathematics major acquires training in reasoning skills, which serve well in winning admittance to professional schools of medicine and law. In addition, those students with the talent and determination for graduate work in mathematics will be well served by the preparation they receive in the major at PBA. The Department also offers a major in Mathematics/Secondary Education (6-12). This degree is a double major of all course necessary for a mathematics major and also all of the course necessary for the major in Education. A new major in the department is the major in Mathematics Economics.
The Department also offers Concentration options in order to have a focus on using the major in a specific area. The Mathematics Major offers a Concentration in Physics. This would enable students to apply their mathematics knowledge to practical applications in Physics. This Concentrations is in lieu of a Minor.
