B.S. in Mathematics/Computer Science 2003

The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science consists of three elements:

• The Liberal Studies Program

• Major Field Study

• Core Courses
  Concentrations: Theory, Computational Methods, Graphics or Individualized

• Open Electives

Liberal Studies Program

Liberal Studies Core

6 courses/24 quarter hours required distributed as follows:

• First Year Program: (16 quarter hours required) Discover Chicago or Explore Chicago, Focal Point Seminar, and Composition and Rhetoric I and II.
• Sophomore Seminar:(4 quarter hours required) Sophomore Seminar on Multiculturalism in the United States
• Junior Year Experiential Learning:(4 quarter hours required)
• Senior Capstone: All CTI majors require that students complete the senior capstone in their major field.

Learning Domain Requirements

13 courses (52 quarter hours) are required and are distributed across six learning domains as follows:

• Arts and Literature-AL 3 courses required (12 quarter hours). At most two courses from the same department or program.
• Philosophical Inquiry-PI 2 courses required (8 quarter hours).
• Religious Dimensions-RD 2 courses required (8 quarter hours). One "Patterns and Problems" and one "Traditions in Context". Note: One course must be a course in ethics. PHL/REL/MGT 228 is required.
• Scientific Inquiry-SI 1 course required (4 quarter hours). This course must be designated as a lab course. Neither CTI nor mathematics courses are acceptable.
• Self, Society and the Modern World-MW 3 courses required (12 quarter hours). These courses must be chosen from at least two different departments.
• Understanding the Past-UP 2 courses required (8 quarter hours). One  "pre-1800" category and one "1800-1945". In addition, the two courses must be chosen from different geographical categories: Asia; Latin America; Africa; North America or Europe; inter-continental or comparative history.

Grades for any Liberal Studies course must be ‘D’ or better. Grades for Composition I and II must be C- or better. The Pass/Fail option may not be used for any Liberal Studies course.

Special Notes for Transfer Students:
Transfer students who enter DePaul with 30 or more quarter hours may not take the first year core. Instead, they should complete two domain electives (from different domains). Transfer courses may be used to satisfy these requirements.

See the Liberal Studies homepage for more information.

Major Field Study

Nineteen (19) Liberal Studies courses (see above) plus the following 29 courses. Although all 29 courses are required, the grouping of the courses into First-Year, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior courses is a recommendation only. See your advisor for help in choosing your classes.

Individualized Concentration

This concentration is intended for students who wish to combine advanced study of mathematics and computer science but whose particular area of interest is not exactly satisfied by one of the other three concentrations. Students wishing to create an individualized program of study leading to a joint degree in mathematics and computer science will be counseled to consult with both mathematics and CTI faculty advisors.

The individualized concentration will consist of the core of 12 courses plus an additional 8 mathematics and computer science courses designed to provide a coherent program. At least three of these courses must be in mathematics and at least three must be in computer science. An individualized program of study must be approved by the chair of the mathematical sciences department and the dean of CTI.

Open Electives(8 courses)

All concentrations include eight courses to be chosen in consultation with an advisor.
