Dual M.S. Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science
Students with interest and strong backgrounds in both mathematics and computer science are encouraged to pursue a dual degree in mathematics and computer science, or to combine their studies with a field outside the department. Some popular combinations include mathematics/physics, computer science/computer engineering, computer science/biomedical engineering, and computer science/software engineering.
Typically, this requires an additional half-year of study beyond that required for an M.S. in either field. Both degrees are awarded simultaneously upon completion of this program. The M.S. is awarded after satisfactory completion of a minimum of 45 credit hours, including 27 hours of core courses in an area of specialization. The specializations are applied mathematics, statistics and operations research, scientific computation, and computer science. Students specializing in scientific computation may earn the M.S. in either mathematics or computer science.
