The Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences offers a multidisciplinary major, consisting of a minor and concentration (or of two concentrations). Students choose a concentration from one of the following disciplines: biology, chemistry, computing science, applied mathematics with computing science, mathematics or physics. Students then choose a minor in a second science from the same list. As an alternative, students can also opt to pursue two concentrations from this list.

com•put•ing / sci•ence (BSc)

A computing science degree provides the necessary skills for software development, from conception and planning through coding, testing and maintenance. TWU students become proficient in several programming notations (such as Modula-2, C++, Python, Java and Prolog) and sub-disciplines (such as artificial intelligence, data structures, database, software engineering, discrete structures and simulation/modeling). Students may also specialize in information systems, becoming support specialists in web technologies, software installation, training, networking, systems administration and/or information systems management. Practical experience with MacOS, Linux and Windows platforms complements a solid knowledge base in computing and technology. With a liberal arts and sciences education, TWU graduates can approach computing science with a broad, multi-disciplinary education. Computing science graduates go on to graduate school, teaching positions and employment as software developers.
