Degrees from the The Mathematics Program at Mercy College places its emphasis on applied mathematics. The goal of the program is to prepare the students for success in any field that requires mathematics, e.g., actuaries, banking, and finance. The student will also be prepared for graduate programs in several fields including mathematics, computer sciences, environmental sciences, and biology. Students in this major will learn at least one computer language. They will receive a strong foundation in applied mathematics through Statistics and probability, Linear Algebra, Mathematical Modeling, Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, and Algebraic Structures. Computers and graphing calculators are used extensively in most of the math courses.

The Computer Information Science programs at Mercy College are designed to enable students to adapt to fast-changing technologies by:

• Introducing students to modern technology and software.
• Developing competencies, skills and a knowledge base for graduates that are necessary for success in the work place and lifelong learning.
• Preparing majors for graduate programs in related fields including Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Telecommunication, Management Information Systems, Information Technology, Internet Business Systems, and Business.
