| The
Mathematical Sciences Department offers distinct
programs in fields of mathematics, physics, computer
science, and engineering. These programs of study prepare
students to pursue their goals, whether they plan to
go directly into a professional career or to pursue
graduate studies.
Majors include: Computing and Applications Programming
(B.A.), Computer Science (B.S.), Engineering Physics
(B.S.), Mathematics (B.A.), Mathematics (B.S.), Mathematics
Teaching (B.A.), Physical Sciences Teaching (B.S.),
Physics (B.A.), and Physics Teaching (B.A.).
Mathematics is one of the most fundamental sciences
upon which many other academic disciplines are built.
Applied mathematicians develop new methods and techniques
or use those already established to solve practical
problems in the areas of business, economics, government,
and engineering and the physical, life, and social sciences.
Some job titles include actuary, operations researcher,
statistician, quality control engineer, and consultant.
Teaching middle school and high school mathematics is
also a common career.
Applied Computer Science majors may pursue careers
in software development, systems or network administration,
and management in technology driven companies. The
ever-widening gap between the demand for computer
professionals and the number of professionals actually
available suggests that a career in computing will
continue to be among the highest-paying and most secure
of the scientific professionals.
A physics degree opens the doors to a huge range
of career opportunities including research, communications,
medical, and education, to name a few. Students graduating
with an engineering degree have traditionally been at
the top of the earnings pay scale right out of college.
The engineering physics program has been designed to
help students find their particular strengths: our 3-2
dual degree options allow students to advance in a chosen
specific field of engineering, while the 4-year bachelor
of science degree opens the door to general engineering,
graduate research in either physics or engineering,
professional degrees, and many others. The 4-year bachelor
of arts degree in physics teaching (in collaboration
with the education department) produces an almost guaranteed
career in high school physics teaching, an area in which
demand far exceeds supply. See http://webs.morningside.edu/engphys
