Mathematics, Statistics and Computer ScienceChairperson: Rebecca Sanders, Ph.D.marquette.edu/mscs/

The Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science offers a unique interdisciplinary learning environment with areas of study ranging frompure and applied mathematics to computer science, statistics and mathematics education.

The Mathematics major (MATH) explores the interplay between the pure theory and the practical applications of mathematics. The mathematicscurriculum can be tailored to an individual's interests with a focus in pure mathematics, applied mathematics or actuarial science, statistics, as well assecondary education. In any case, the curriculum is designed to provide technical skills for growth within the discipline and for success in a wide varietyof careers.

The Computer Science major (COSC) provides students with an understanding of the central ideas and methods used to solve real problems withsoftware. Students practice the many skills required to build computer systems that address problems in scientific, engineering and business domains.Most of all, the major aims to prepare students for long-term success in a rapidly changing field that provides the computer technology underpinning ourmodern world.

The Computational Mathematics major (COMA) blends the subjects of computer science and applied mathematics, providing a balance which wouldotherwise require a double major to achieve. Furthermore, the curriculum teaches the skills necessary for careers in today's technical environment.

Data Science is the emerging field that seeks to extract and quantify knowledge from data. The Data Science major (DTSC) integrates statistics andmathematics with computer science, allowing students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to discover and quantify new knowledge fromdata. Those prepared to integrate advanced technology with modern statistical and mathematical practices have the opportunity to use in data in actionto benefit society. Data scientists turn data into knowledge.

The Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers major (MELT) is for College of Education students who are seeking teaching certification at theelementary school level, while obtaining strong mathematical preparation. This program is designed to prepare “mathematics specialists” who providevision, focus and leadership in elementary schools.

Bioinformatics is a field that lies at the intersection of biology, statistics and computer science, which is focused on the generation and analysis oflarge biological datasets. The interdisciplinary Bioinformatics major (INBI) provides sufficient depth in both biology and computer science in order toapproach problems in bioinformatics from the perspective of both parent fields Biology and Computer Science. The program is designed to prepareindividuals to use the computational tools of bioinformatics to solve problems or analyze datasets in biological sciences. For more information aboutthe interdisciplinary Bioinformatics major (INBI), visit the College of Arts and Sciences Interdisciplinary Majors and Minors section of the UndergraduateBulletin.

The Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science offers a five-year B.S./M.S. accelerated degree program in which students may obtainboth a B.S. degree in Computer Science and the professional master of science (M.S.) degree in Computing in five years. In addition, together with theGraduate School of Management, the Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science offers a five-year B.S./M.B.A. accelerated degreeprogram.
