* A grade of C or better must be obtained in all Earth Sciences courses present-
ed in fulfillment of the B.S. in Geology.
** Summer Field Camp (GEOS581) is not offered at Edinboro University and
must be taken at another institution approved by the Geosciences Department
and transferred back to fulfill this requirement. It is recommended that
Summer Field Camp be taken after completion of upper division courses
which may be between the junior and senior years or after completion of sen-
ior year coursework. Summer Field Camps given at other schools usually
range from 4 to 9 weeks in length and offer from 3 to 9 semester hours of cred-
it.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers programs that lead
to the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, Bachelor of Arts in
Mathematics with Actuarial Concentration, Bachelor of Science in Computer
Science, Bachelor of Science in Education-Area of Certification: Secondary
Mathematics (refer to the Educational Services Department), and an Associate of
Science in Computer Science.
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science also offers a mathemat-
ics minor, a computer science minor, an applied computer technology minor and
an applied mathematics minor. These minors can be coordinated with virtually
any academic discipline.
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science develops the capacity of
the student to analyze a variety of life situations modeling the problem environ-
ment with logical and numerical tools. As such, a strong foundation in mathe-
matics and computer science becomes the basis for clear reasoning and problem
solving in many other areas. Professionals in virtually all disciplines recognize
the importance of mastering computer skills, developing problem-solving com-
petence and studying mathematics. When students develop their abilities in math-
ematics and computer science they move from using the logical models proposed
by others, to being able to create new approaches for the problems and technolo-
gies of tomorrow.
Course offerings include courses in algebra, analysis, statistics, geometry, pro-
gramming languages, software design, database design and management, data
structures, networking, artificial intelligence, operating systems, and computer
architecture. The department also provides a variety of introductory courses from
