Program Description
Leverage Your Aptitude In Math Across Disciplines Into Computer Science
With a strong emphasis on mathematics, the major in Computer Science offers students an opportunity to gain essential preparation for managing systems and networks in a business, ideal for mathematically strong students who wish to make connections between theoretical mathematics and applications in computer science.
Since a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is not a degree typically offered by many small colleges, Catawba College students who choose it have unique opportunities for close interactions with faculty in the discipline and with their fellow students and to complete industry internships. Our upper-level classes offer areas of specialized topics and are capped at a small number to allow even more interaction between students and faculty, allowing for additional engagement in practical projects and research.
The Catawba College faculty is committed to having Computer Science majors understand the interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary aspect of this program of study. The faculty who also act as industry mentors, have a wide range of interests and backgrounds that allows students to study topics that they are interested in and that are not found in a typical course. In the recent past, independent studies and seminars have been offered in areas related to computer science on topics such as partial differential equations and R-programming.
