can be found by selecting the "Position Openings"
link to the left. Hopefully this version of our department Web
site will provide a more consistent browsing experience with
the core FHSU site.
The MACS department has
three degree programs available within the discipline of Mathematics: Traditional and Applied
Mathematics, Mathematics Education, and Computer Science.
Visit our degree program page (link at theleft) to learn more
about these programs.
If you are not sure about
pursuing a major in mathematics, why not visit this
portion of The Mathematical Association of America web
site and examine many of the possible career opportunities
for one holding a degree with a mathematics major . . . you
might be surprised at the varied opportunities and the demand
for individuals with a strong background in mathematics.
The department also offers an undergraduate degree in applied
Computer Science with emphasis on
Software Engineering. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
computer scientists and database administrators are expected
to be among the fastest growing occupations through 2014.
Why not begin a career in computer science by completing a
degree with our departmen?
All of our classes are taught by experienced and dedicated
faculty members. Classes are generally small in size; a major
class is rarely over twenty-five students. Thus, students
are able to have individual attention and become well-acquainted
with their professors. To view our current faculty, choose
the faculty link in the navigation bar. |

Rarick Hall houses the
Dept. of Math & Computer Science
on the third floor and the MACS'
computer lab on the second floor
There
have been excellent opportunities open to the students with
degrees earned from our department in both mathematics and
computer science. These opportunities appear likely to continue
in at least the near future. In fact, Fort Hays State math
and cs graduates have been employed by companies such as Boeing,
Koch Industries, Halliburton Services, Conoco, AT&T Technologies,
Bell Systems, U.S. Treasury, Educational Data Systems, Texas
Instruments, insurance companies such as Security Benefit
Group and State Farm, other large corporations, banks, and
numerous elementary through college level schools (too numerous
to mention individually). Other graduates have chosen to continue
their education at various graduate schools across the country.
Much
more information about the MACS department awaits you. . .
