Major in Mathematics

Updated August 2004

University of North Alabama

The Mathematics and Computer Science Department at the University of North Alabama offers a wide variety of courses to prepare a student for both entry-level employment and further study in mathematics or a mathematics-related area. Graduates of our program have been successful in careers in education, business, industry, and government service. Our graduates have also successfully pursued further study at the graduate level.

The following components comprise the major in mathematics:

  1. General Studies Component (41-47 semester hours)
  2. Mathematics Major Requirements (24-39 semester hours - see below)
  3. Minor, Second Major or Education/Certification Block (see Dept. of Education Requirements)
  4. Electives to bring total to 128 semester hours

Major in Computer Science

Updated August 2004

University of North Alabama

The major in computer science is designed to prepare students for careers in computer fields or in other fields which benefit from computer use. Students trained in computer science may find employment in industry, business, or government in network management, web site design and management, software development or other areas. The major in computer science also provides preparation for graduate study leading to more advanced careers in computer fields or in teaching at the collegiate level.

The following components comprise the major in Computer Science:

  1. General Studies Component (41-47 semester hours)
  2. Computer Science Major Requirements (39-53 semester hours - see below)
  3. Electives to bring total to 128 semester hours
  4. Note: No minor is required for Computer Science Majors.
