Department Of Computer Science and Mathematics
 The
computer science program at Wesleyan is designed to provide the student
with a broad background suitable as a basis for continued studies
in graduate school or employment in the computer industry or in business.
Students may specialize in hardware, software, or application areas
and complete their senior project in their area of interest.
Graduates who major in computer science at Wesleyan will be able to
(1) discuss the significant events in the history of the computer’s
development; (2) set up and install hardware and peripherals; (3)
evaluate, install, and use software packages; (4) demonstrate how
to use current operating systems/shells/GUIs and utilities; (5) discuss
ethical and legal responsibilities of computer professionals and the
privacy issue; (6) demonstrate programming proficiency in a high-level
language; (7) demonstrate knowledge of a low-level language that reflects
the architecture of a microprocessor; (8) set up the hardware, install
software, and maintain a local area computer network and access wide-area
networks; (9) analyze a problem, design a solution, and debug the
solution; and (10) help non-technical users operate computers and
run software.
The mathematics program at Wesleyan is designed to prepare students
for employment as applied mathematicians in industry, for entrance
into graduate school, for certification as secondary or elementary
teachers of mathematics, or for a variety of careers in other disciplines
which require that blend of intuition, formalism, and logic which
characterizes the mathematical process. |
