Program Description
The joint major in Mathematics and Computer Science is an interdisciplinary program of study offered by the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science at the renowned Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, an independent division of New York University. The Courant Institute is one of the top-ranked mathematics departments worldwide and is well-known for its pioneering history in the field of applied mathematics. This major offers the opportunity for deep study of the field of computer science alongside such relevant mathematical fields as analysis, algebra, probability, statistics, combinatorics, and numerical analysis.
Honors Program in Computer Science and Mathematics
The prerequisite for declaring this major is completion of either CSCI-UA 101 Intro to Computer Science or CSCI-UA 102 Data Structures (depending on placement) with a C or better. This is a twenty-course (80-credit) interdisciplinary major offered by the Departments of Computer Science and Mathematics.
The honors degree will be awarded to students with outstanding performance in the program. To be eligible for this distinction students must:
- Complete all college BA requirements including at least 64 credits of graded work in the College of Arts and Science.
- Complete all of the course requirements for the program.
- Maintain a grade point average of 3.65 or better in the major sequence (including honors requirements) AND maintain a general grade point average of 3.65 or better.
- Request admission to the honors program by completing the Honors Admission Request Form.
- Meet with the computer science program administrator and director of undergraduate studies to discuss the program requirements once they have been admitted.
- Students are required to submit a copy of their completed thesis to the mathematics honors faculty adviser as well as to the faculty director of undergraduate studies in computer science. See the Honors Research Project section below for more information.
