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, Certification, 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 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.

For more information please visit the Department’s home page.

Admission Requirements

B.S. in Computer Science

Teacher Certification

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers teacher certification in mathematics and computer science at the elementary and secondary levels, Option I and Option II and an Information Processing Technology Endorsement. Students should contact the chair of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department for details.
 

Dual Degree (3+ 2) Program in Engineering - A Special Opportunity for Women

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.

For information about cooperative engineering programs, contact the department of Mathematics and Computer Science at TWU, P.O. BOX 425886, Denton TX 76204, phone 940/898-2166.
