Mathematics/Statistics and Computer Science, Integrated, B.S.
Program Description
This integrated major provides students with a combination of in-depth knowledge of mathematical foundations and technical computer science skills. It is intended for careers that require a strong computer science foundation and a strong mathematical/statistical background.
What skills are developed within this major?
Students will be using real datasets and industry standard software and computing systems to solve real problems. Students in this major will develop advanced skills including:
- Coding and data structures
- Mathematical and statistical reasoning
- Critical thinking
- Business sense
- Client consulting
- Effective communication and presentation
Students in the Mathematics/Statistics and Computer Science program will develop a deep understanding of the mathematical foundation and acquire practical computing skills to solve challenging problems. There are many career possibilities with this educational background. This degree can be applied in all industries and employment sectors. Some examples include:
- Finance and investment analyst
- Data & business analyst
- Modeling analyst
- Software engineer
- Data engineer
- Machine learning analyst
- Statistician
- Data scientist
- Cryptographer
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates there were 34,600 mathematicians and statisticians employed across the United States in 2024. On average, about 2,700 openings for mathematicians and statisticians are projected each year. There is great demand for mathematicians and statisticians, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects an 8% increase from 2024-2034, much faster than average for all occupations.

Honors Program/University Scholars
A University Honors/Scholar Program student will be able to graduate with Honors in Mathematics/Statistics and Computer Science by completing the general requirements of the Honors or University Scholars Program and all of the following:
- Satisfy all requirements for the Mathematics/Statistics and Computer Science major;
- Complete three 400-level CIS or MTH/STA Honors Contract courses, for a total of 9 honor credits.
- Complete three credits of Honors Research (CIS 495H) or Honors Project (MTH 496H, in place of MTH 496) with a C or better grade. CIS 495H should be conducted jointly with a Computer Science faculty. MTH 496H requires all the requirements of MTH 496, plus an oral presentation of the student’s work and should be conducted jointly with a Mathematics/Statistics faculty.
