Carleton College (Northfield, MN) - Computer Science

 

Computer Science (CS)


Computer Science studies the computational structures and processes that appear throughout the natural and human worlds. The study of those processes (known as algorithms) can lend insight into the functioning of our brains, the structure of our genes, the mechanisms by which people form communities,
 and many other questions in a wide range of disciplines. At the same time, an understanding of algorithms and the structure of data can help us create a tremendous variety of useful software tools. Carleton's computer science curriculum is designed to provide students with a balance between theoretical study and the practical application of theory to the design and construction of software.

Since computer science plays a key role in our world, we recommend Introduction to Computer Science  (CS 111) for all Carleton students. We also offer introductory-level courses on specific topics, such as Life in the Age of Networks (CS 108).
Those who choose to major in computer science find many opportunities following graduation. Carleton Computer Science graduates who pursue employment in the computing industry find jobs in a many different roles and at a wide variety of companies. In addition to graduate programs in computer science, Carleton CS majors seeking further education have pursued graduate study in areas such as bioinformatics, linguistics, cognitive science, and law.

Requirements for a Major


The course requirements are Mathematics 111; Computer Science 111, 201, 202 (or Mathematics 236), 204, (or 257), 208, 251, 252, and 254; and two additional courses from among Computer Science courses numbered 200 or above. Although they are not required for the CS major, we recommend that our students take as many mathematics and statistics courses as possible. Majors must complete a capstone experience (CS 399 and 400): during fall and winter terms of the senior year, the student will participate on a team of four to seven students working on a faculty-specified project. This means students ordinarily must plan to be on campus fall and winter of the senior year. Potential majors should take Computer Science 111, Mathematics 111, and at least one of Computer Science 201, 202, and 208 by the end of the sophomore year.
Students contemplating graduate study in computer science should consider taking additional courses in both mathematics (ideally the full Calculus sequence plus Mathematics 215 and 232) and computer science. Those interested in computer engineering should consider taking physics courses through Electricity and Magnetism, and Electronics.
A guide for majors is available on the Computer Science Web site.

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees are academically equivalent within the department. The vast majority of students with an Accounting or Business Administration major choose the B.S. degree. The Economics major is traditionally viewed as a liberal arts major and therefore students often choose the B.A. degree. If a student chooses to graduate with two majors, and one major is only offered as a B.A or B.S., the second major should match the first major’s degree.

The business administration program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is nationally accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs for the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees with a major in Business Administration.

Classical Languages

Illa vox et imploratio “Civis Romanus sum,” quae saepe multis in ultimis terris opem inter barbaros et salutem tulit.Cicero, In Verrem Meritorious is that course of education which, during the academic formation of the youth, desires that student carefully study of the ancient classics in Greek and Latin.from Pope Leo XIII, Ea disciplinae, On the study of languages in an undergraduate education To be without Greek or Latin is barbarism.

To the end of his days, the bullish Theodore Roosevelt contended that one thing was necessary for an individual to be educated to such a standard that he had a chance to lead in the world of politics or daily affairs. That “essential element” was “classical training.” There was never, until very recently, any opposition perceived between the liberal learning that came from the careful study of Latin and Greek and the often practical actions that students inevitably undertake beyond the college years. In the Catholic tradition, the recovery and preservation of Greek and Latin learning remains central—indeed, the very foundation of an education.

Thomas More College of Liberal Arts (Merrimack, NH - Mathematics, Natural Science, and Philosophy

 

Mathematics, Natural Science, and Philosophy

There are some who through knowledge of things natural construct a ladder by which to rise to the contemplation of things supernatural; they build a path to theology through philosophy and the liberal arts . . . they adorn the queen of heaven with the spoils of the Egyptians. 
–from St. Thomas More’s Letter to the Guild of Masters of the University of Oxford

In his celebrated Regensburg Address, Pope Benedict XVI declared that the virtue most required today by those who seek the truth is nothing less than a kind of intellectual fortitude: the “courage to engage the whole breadth of reason.”  It is a program with which St. Thomas More would have heartily agreed.  For More not only championed Classical languages, but—as the passage above indicates—he also eloquently affirmed the noble task of the other liberal arts and of philosophy to prepare the mind for the arduous ascent towards wisdom.At Thomas More College, students begin the path to wisdom—natural and revealed—with courses that seek to attune their senses to the beauty and intelligibility of the Creation.  In the Way of Beauty sequence, they learn to discipline their eyes, ears, hands, and even their voices, as they ponder the mysteries of proportion in the visual arts and music.  Coupled with a semester of Euclidean Geometry in the Spring Term of their first year, the Way of Beauty sequence helps to reveal the sacred arithmetic and geometry built into the Creation and the human mind.

Reed College (Portland, OR) - Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

 

Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

Introductory courses in the Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences help students become familiar with elementary principles that form a basis for understanding each discipline. Instruction clarifies methods of observation, experimentation, analysis, and reasoning by which insight is gained into the nature of the mathematical and physical worlds. Introductory and advanced courses in mathematics and the natural sciences are planned as part of students’ education in the liberal arts. Advanced courses in different scientific fields extend students’ knowledge and give them training in specialized techniques characteristic of the individual sciences.
An important part of a science student’s experience at Reed is the thesis, an independent project of research or critical or creative work carried out under the guidance of a faculty member. Students who have an interest in engineering, computer science, or forestry and environmental sciences may participate in dual degree programs with Reed and cooperating institutions in the Portland area and beyond.

Reed College (Portland, OR) - Division of History and Social Sciences

 

Division of History and Social Sciences

Introductory history and social science courses—Economics 201, Anthropology 211, introductory courses in political science, and Sociology 211—provide a foundation for advanced work in the various fields of the division.

History courses at the 200 level also provide introductory work in their respective historical and geographical areas, but they are not required as an introduction to the discipline as a whole. The introductory courses are open to first-year students, with the exception of Anthropology 211, History 276 and 278, and Sociology 211, which require consent of the instructor.

Divisional Requirements

Each major is required to fulfill divisional distribution requirements by completing three of the following:

1. Anthropology 211 and one additional upper-division anthropology course.

Reed College (Portland, OR) - Physical Education (PE)

 

Physical Education (PE)

Michael Lombardo, Director
In keeping with Juvenal’s classic ideal mens sana in corpore sano—or, a sound mind in a sound body—a PE requirement is integrated into the Reed curriculum. The PE requirement is designed to support students in maintaining their physical health, to introduce students to physical education activities, and to encourage them to participate regularly. Student enjoyment, fitness, and skill learning are emphasized; competition is not.
Classes that satisfy the PE requirement are offered at a variety of levels depending on enrollment and student ability. In addition, Reed has organized club sports teams that qualify for PE credit and will challenge students who want competition outside the college in sports such as basketball, rugby, soccer, ultimate Frisbee, rowing, fencing, and squash.
Classes are normally held twice a week for one hour. Attendance is required. Please refer to the schedule of classes for more details and information on class fees and trip dates. Classes usually offered (based on interest and time of year):
