From the Department Chair
	The mission of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is to provide an educational environment responsible for producing highly skilled, competent and well prepared computer scientists, mathematicians, and teachers to enter professional careers, pursue degrees beyond the baccalaureate level, and live productively in a global, culturally diverse and technologically advanced society. The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is a key contributor to enhancing the overall image and reputation of the University in the fields of Computer Science, Professional Mathematics, and Teaching of Mathematics. This is achieved through enhancing the student environment; building and maintaining a culturally and ethically diverse faculty; and by improving the quality of education, and the working and learning environment. We have a number of outstanding students actively involved in curricular as well as extra curricular activities. Our students continue to participate in exchange programs, as well as undergraduate research and intern/cooperative education programs during the academic year and summers. We strive and continue to produce outstanding graduates from the Department. Over the past ten years, the top graduating seniors in the Department have been in the top 5% of the graduating class at the University. During this same period, more than 70% of our graduates have been employed in the areas of their degree preparation.
