Get ready for an exciting career in technology with a dual degree in mathematics and computer science. Alverno’s partnership with the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (UWM) allows you to earn two bachelor’s degrees in just five years, mastering a powerful combination of knowledge and skills.
How the program works
You’ll begin your studies at Alverno, where our small class sizes will ensure you receive individualized attention, personalized feedback and form close relationships with faculty and classmates. You’ll build a strong foundation in mathematics before seeking admission to UWM. (To gain admission, you will need to complete your Alverno math studies, receive a positive recommendation from your Alverno advisor and meet all UWM undergraduate admissions requirements.)
You’ll then complete computer science coursework at UWM, where you’ll be able to concentrate in one of five areas: artificial intelligence, software engineering, computer networking, algorithm design and programming language design and implementation. Leading-edge research with faculty will be the cornerstone of your UWM studies, with opportunities in cryptography, robotics, intelligent dialog systems and more.
Once you’ve completed your UWM coursework, you will then apply for graduation at both institutions and will be eligible to participate in both institutions’ commencement ceremonies.
For the first three years, students will pay Alverno tuition, applying for financial aid through the college, if needed. While at UWM, students will pay tuition and apply for aid at UWM.
As an Alverno mathematics and computer science major, you will learn how to:
Use the language, frameworks, and processes of mathematics to formulate and solve diverse mathematical problems
Read, write, listen to, and speak mathematics effectively, including correctly interpreting and using language, notation, symbols charts and graphs
Use mathematical abstraction, including observing and expressing patterns, building arguments, justifying conclusions and evaluating the conclusions of others
