In view of the pervasive roles that quantitative analysis and technology play throughout our society, a basic familiarity with the discipline of computer science has become an integral part of a liberal arts education. As a college for women, Mills recognizes the importance of encouraging women to study computer science and of providing them with the high-quality instruction they need to succeed in this discipline. Encouraging computer literacy, along with hands-on experience with computer systems, is part of the College's continued effort to increase the analytical and technical competence of its graduates. Mills has an unusually distinguished record of pioneering in computer science, particularly for a liberal arts college. Between 1960 and 1974, the College progressed from a single course in computing with one professor and one student to a full-fledged computer science major. Mills was the first women's college to offer an undergraduate degree in computer science and to establish a Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Computer Science Major and Minor Today, the major and minor encompass the core curriculum recommended by the Association for Computing Machinery. The major is designed to provide the student with fundamental concepts and problems in computer science and to prepare her for a career and/or graduate study in computer science and related fields. 4+1 BA/MA Program in Interdisciplinary Computer Science Mills offers a unique 4+1 BA/MA program in interdisciplinary computer science. Undergraduate students enrolled in the program major in a field different from computer science, while simultaneously working on the degree requirements for an MA in interdisciplinary computer science. They receive a BA upon completion of undergraduate degree requirements, which usually takes four years, and they receive an MA upon the completion of the graduate degree requirements, which usually takes an additional year. Undergraduates at Mills are encouraged to apply for admission to the program and, if possible, make their intentions known by their junior year. At that time, they will be assigned a second advisor, one in computer science.
With Mills' unique Bachelor's to Master's 4+1 Degree Programs you can earn two academic degrees in five years—increasing your career options after college. Click a link below for courses you can be taking now to prepare for your Bachelor's to Master's 4+1 Degree. |
