Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics
Ashford University's Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics now offers the additional option of obtaining teaching certification in secondary mathematics. This recently revised program has the flexibility to allow the student to tailor the degree towards computer programming, applied mathematics, or teaching in mathematics. Students in this program select one of three concentration areas, computer science, mathematics, or education. Students in this program will develop and strengthen their ability to solve problems creatively and effectively, to reason logically and to apply computer and mathematical skills. Graduates from this program are prepared to work in positions in government or industry, teach in secondary schools, or to continue their studies at the graduate level. See Computer Graphic Design section and Management Information Systems section for additional degree options in the computer science field.
