Department of Mathematics, Computer Science & Physics
Build the skills behind every system.
Mathematics and computing aren’t just abstract subjects — they’re the logic behind nearly every system, app, and decision in the modern world. The Department of Mathematics, Computer Science & Physics gives you a rigorous foundation in analytical thinking, paired with practical, hands-on experience you can put to work immediately.
Choose a B.A. in Mathematics to prepare for graduate study, teaching, or a career in industry and business; a B.S. in Computer Science to dig into the theory and practice of computing; or a B.A. in Computer Information Systems for hands-on experience in programming, database design, and network management. Add a minor in Computer Information Systems or Mathematics to round out almost any other major on campus.
Faculty here believe science belongs to everyone — including future teachers. If you’re drawn to the classroom, you can pair your Mathematics degree with a New Jersey teaching certification in Early Childhood, Elementary, or Secondary Mathematics Education, every track including a Teacher of Students with Disabilities endorsement.

The GCU Difference
This Is What Sets You Apart.
Hands-On From Day One
The Computer Information Systems program is built around practical, hands-on experience — programming projects, database design, and network management — alongside team-oriented projects that mirror how technology teams actually work.
Research With Faculty Who Know Your Name
The department actively encourages undergraduates to pursue research projects with a faculty member in mathematics, computer science, or physics — a level of access to faculty mentorship that's hard to find at a larger university.
Become a Math Teacher Without an Extra Degree
Pair your B.A. in Mathematics with New Jersey teaching certification in Early Childhood, Elementary, or Secondary Education — every pathway built in, everyone including a Teacher of Students with Disabilities endorsement, with no separate degree required.
