Mathematics/Computer Science Interdisciplinary Major
Academic Year 2015-2016
This 9-course/29+-credit major is available as a second major to students in the Lynch School of
Education who are pursuing Elementary Education or Applied Psychology and Human Development. It
is not an option for students majoring in Secondary Education. It is recommended for students who
may have had four years of high school mathematics and wish to specialize in mathematics/computer
science, but are not interested in the traditional mathematics major because of their intended career
objective as elementary educators. Study abroad is usually fall semester.
