The CCS Math Program has been designed for students planning to go on to graduate
studies. An intensive three quarter sequence of math courses prepare
CCS math majors to start taking upper division courses at the College of Letters
and Science in their second year. This faster pace also allows them to take
graduate courses by their fourth year. Each student is assigned a personal
faculty advisor that will help tailor an individual course curricululm that
focuses on the student's specific research area.
Students at CCS study a wide variety of advanced topics that shape their developing
research interests, leading to the selection of a graduate school. There is an
extensive involvement in the research process. CCS students are encouraged
to become involved in independent research early in their undergraduate careers
and professors at the math department are enthusiastic to have them work
in their research groups. Summer research internships are available at UCSB
and at other universities.
A dual major in physics or computer science is possible.
As a summary, some of the advantages of doing a CCS math major are:
1) Intensive three quarter sequence of CCS Math, starting in the fall of the
freshman year.
2) Joint program CCS and Mathematics Department.
3) Small Classes/Seminars
4) Early involvement in research.
5) Personal faculty advising
6) Personalized curriculum tailored towards your interests.
7) Access to courses without taking prerequisites, including graduate level
courses.
8) No limits on the number of courses or units you can take.
9) Simplified and more flexible general education requirements.
10) Priority registration for classes.
11) Graduate student library privileges.
12) CCS students may drop courses up to the last day of instruction.
13) 24 hour access to the CCS building. |
