Combined Major in Mathematics & Computer Science with Security Track

The combined major in mathematics and computer science with security track provides students with a rigorous study of the principles of both fields. Such a foundation provides students the necessary understanding to continue their professional growth as new security technologies emerge.  This program provides solid preparation for employment in a variety of settings, as well as for pursuing graduate studies.  This combined major in mathematics and computer science with security track opens career opportunities not available to students majoring in just one of these two fields.

The combined major in mathematics and economics requires 100 –103 units completed with a grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher.

Required Courses (67 units)

* Note *    The MATH 314 and COSC 314 courses are double listed.  Students should register for the
                  course listed in their primary department.

Security Track (15 units)

Upper-Division Mathematics Electives (3–4 units)
One course from the following:

Science Requirements: (12–14 units)

A sequence of two lab courses taken from physics, biology or chemistry, which must be accepted in that major.  One additional 4-unit course or two additional 3-unit courses from physics, biology or chemistry, also accepted in that major (except PHYS 244 and 337), with the requirement that 12 units of science be met.

Note:  COMM 131 Fundamentals of Speech Communication (3 units) must be taken to fulfill the
            General Education Requirement in Category II.B.3.

In addition to the required and elective courses listed above that comprise the combined major in mathematics and computer science, other resources that will help the student complete this major are:

• Typical four-year sequence of courses in this concentration
• Advising and scheduling
• General Education (GenEd) requirements checklist (PDF)   (note: opens in a new window)
• Transfer student policy
