Quantitative
Methods and Computer Science is part of the liberal arts curriculum at
the University of St. Thomas. The QMCS program is concerned with the areas
of today's society that involve the collection, organization, processing,
storage, retrieval, communication and use of information. The department's
emphasis is on the broad basic core of knowledge required to become an
effective user of information; to design and implement system and application
software; and to understand the concepts involved in areas such as computer
graphics, telecommunication, artificial intelligence, database design,
statistics and operations research.
Students
who graduate with a major in quantitative methods and computer science
will be prepared to work in business, industry, education, and government,
as designers or users, or to pursue entrepreneurial interests in technologically
supported areas or to continue study in graduate school.
