每个课程都提供扎实的技术教育，但允许学生修读其他学科的广泛课程，这是通识教育的重要组成部分。结果，必修课程的总数比其他学校少一些。一些学生利用这种自由来完成第二专业，例如经济学，音乐，政治学或戏剧研究。计算机科学和数学是一个跨学科的专业，适合对计算数学，在数学中使用计算机以及数学方面感兴趣的学生理学学士课程是为计划毕业后继续从事计算的学生而设计的，包括技术管理和咨询。文学学士课程提供扎实的计算机科学背景，为在金融，法律，管理或医学等其他领域的工作做好准备。BS / MS计划允许能力出色且准备充分的学生在八
The joint major in Computer Science and Mathematics is intended for students who are interested in computational mathematics, the use of computers in mathematics, mathematical aspects of algorithm design and analysis, and theoretical foundations of computing. The Department of Computer Science offers both Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts majors in Computer Science and a combined Bachelor's / Master's program. It also offers joint majors with the Departments of Economics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Psychology. Each program provides a solid technical education yet allows students to take the broad range of courses in other disciplines that is an essential part of a liberal education. As a result the total number of required courses is somewhat lower than at other schools. Some students use this freedom to complete a second major, such as Economics, Music, Political Science, or Theater Studies.
