Computer Science and Mathematics
This is an archived copy of the 2022-23 catalog. To access the most recent version of the catalog, please visit http://catalog.ndsu.edu.
This dual major takes advantage of close connections between Computer Science and Mathematics, representing a streamlined curriculum that covers important concepts of both majors while removing redundancies between the programs.
It is of particular interest to Computer Science students who wish to expand their understanding of mathematical foundations beyond the concepts that are covered in a B.S. in Computer Science with a Mathematics minor. Students are encouraged to enroll in this program if they intend to pursue a graduate degree in one of the more theoretical areas of computer science, or just generally have an interest in expanding their mathematics education.
Sample Program Guide
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: A Sample Program Guide provides an unofficial guide of program requirements and should be used by prospective students who are considering attending NDSU in the future. It is NOT an official curriculum and should NOT be used by current NDSU students for official degree planning purposes. Note that the official curriculum used by current NDSU students can vary from the Sample Program Guide due to a variety of factors such as, but not limited to, start year, education goals, transfer credit, and course availability.
To ensure proper program completion, enrolled students should utilize Degree Map and Schedule Planner in Campus Connection and consult regularly with their academic advisor to ensure requirements are being met.
