Our Department
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers four major programs, Actuarial Science, Computer Science, Information Systems, and Mathematics. A core of courses is common to all majors, allowing flexibility for students exploring different options. Students electing to major in a departmental program are encouraged to declare intent by the second semester of the sophomore year.
Students must complete at least 60 hours of courses outside the department toward the minimum requirements for graduation. No more than 48 credit hours taken from one subdivision of the department may count toward the hours required for graduation. Our full-time faculty members are committed to quality undergraduate teaching and learning while providing our students with a variety of business perspectives.
Our Faculty
Each faculty member is a mix of generalist and specialist. We are familiar with the curriculum, but at the same time, we each have our areas of specialization. This means that in our courses we can easily relate material from different aspects, and also is important for students who wish to discuss the range of careers.
Our Students
Students are motivated, enthusiastic, responsible and hard-working. Our students come from across the U.S. and around the world.
Our Internationalization
Internationalization is a core value of Marietta College, and the department is committed to fostering an international environment for our students. The Mathematics and Computer Science Department is the academic home to students from more than 15 countries, and our students will be prepared to thrive in a diverse, global society.
Our Alumni
At Mathematics and Computer Science, we have reasons to be proud of our alumni. Many of these former students have pursued not only their degrees but also their dreams. Throughout the world, our alumni are succeeding in a wide range of chosen careers, and their support is crucial to the department's continued success.
