The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers programs leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Master of Science in Mathematics Teaching. Please refer to the graduate catalog for information about courses for Master’s degrees.

The Baccalaureate programs in mathematics and in computer science are intended to prepare the student for further work in mathematics or computer science at the graduate level, for teaching at the secondary school level, for employment as a mathematician or as a computer scientist, or for employment in a mathematics-related or computer science-related area in business, industry, or government.

To support the diverse needs of our students, the department provides a variety of options for both computer science and mathematics majors. Those seeking the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science may choose an emphasis in either Information Technology or Programming/Software Engineering. Those seeking the Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics may choose an emphasis in Engineering, Computational, or Statistical. For those interested, the Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics is also available. Programs tailored for those seeking teacher certification are available for both mathematics and computer science majors. Specific requirements for these options are found later in this section.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science has long been an important part of the mission of Texas Woman’s University to educate students, especially women, to hold positions of respect and responsibility in all parts of society. This heritage is continuing today in the disciplines of mathematics and computer science.

Admission Requirements

Please see admission section of this catalog.

Special Requirements

Only mathematics and computer science courses in which a grade of C or better is received may be counted as part of a mathematics or computer science major or minor.

Undergraduate Degrees

B.A. and B.S. in Mathematics

B.S. in Computer Science

Minor

A Mathematics or Computer Science major requires a minor of at least 18 semester hours of which a minimum of 6 hours must be upper division. Students may choose a minor from any offered at the university. Mathematics students choosing an actuarial science emphasis might consider a minor in business while students choosing a bio-statistics emphasis might consider a minor in biology. Computer science students often minor in mathematics or business. A new digital media minor might be attractive to either major.

Teacher Certification

The department offers teacher certification in mathematics at the elementary, middle, and secondary levels. Information Processing Technology endorsements are offered at Level I and II. Students should contact the chair of Mathematics and Computer Science for details or check the department web pages for more information.

Engineering - A Special Opportunity for TWU Students

The dual degree program in mathematics and engineering combines the strengths of Texas Woman’s University and the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) or Texas A&M University at College Station (TAMU) to enable our students to earn two degrees simultaneously while preparing for a professional career in engineering.

Undergraduate students attend TWU for three years as mathematics majors in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, then continue their education at the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at UTD or the Dwight Look School of Engineering at TAMU for two additional years. After completetion of the degree, students will receive the Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from TWU and the Bachelor of Science degree in engineering.

At TWU, students will take a broad range of courses in mathematics, humanities, social and natural sciences as well as the basic introductory courses needed to enter studies in engineering. At UTD or TAMU, they will be engaged in technical studies in engineering from the selected engineering school.

A third option available to TWU students allows a “fast track” to a masters degree in engineering at Texas Tech University or Texas A&M University on completion of a bachelors degree in computer science or mathematics at TWU. Scholarships and internships with Texas Instruments are currently available to support students in this program.
