Whitworth's mathematics & computer science department offers a solid foundation in mathematics, statistics, computer programming, databases, networks and software engineering. Talented faculty in the department's interdisciplinary programs help students learn to apply mathematics and computing skills in the fields of natural science, business and industry, and the social and behavioral sciences.
Believing that God wants every individual to strive to reach his or her full potential, department faculty challenge motivated students by providing them the opportunity to participate in activities that go beyond the traditional classroom experience. These involve state-of-the-art research and development, service-learning projects and teaching-assistant opportunities. Through theory, practice and the pursuit of knowledge, students develop the problem-solving skills that will help them succeed in their professions and in life.

Students can also choose from a variety of upper-division chemistry courses that complement their career and/or graduate-school objectives. These elective courses offer students laboratory and/or field experiences in specialized areas of chemistry.
