Bachelor of Science From financial analysis to space exploration, from civil engineering to development of the World Wide Web, applications of mathematics, computing and physics are crucial to nearly every modern human endeavor. As the disciplines of mathematics, computing and physics are among humankind's deepest, most fundamental, and most universal, their wide applications are, in a way, not surprising. Furthermore, these fields continue to develop and to be vital to the world's culture and economy. The department strives to present the greatest and most useful ideas of mathematics, computing and physics in the context of preparing students for careers as varied as mathematical research, software engineering and information management. The common theme of all being an interest in great ideas (old and new) put to contemporary uses.

The mathematics, computer science and physics department at Chapman offers the bachelor of science degree in mathematics, in computer science and in computer information systems.

Students in the mathematics major prepare for a variety of careers, including actuary, financial analysis, science, mathematics education and pure mathematics research, engineering and data security. The majors of computer science and computer information systems are designed to prepare the student for a career involved in inventing and implementing the next generations of technological change. The computer science degree emphasizes technological development, whereas the computer information systems degree emphasizes use of technology in the context of organizations.

Students pursuing any degree in the department must maintain a 2.0 (C) grade point average in all the requirements. All courses in the majors must be taken for a letter grade.
