Math and Computer & Information Sciences

You’ll be able to concentrate in either mathematics or computer and information sciences, though you’ll take classes in both areas. Beyond the fundamental mathematical and scientific concepts that drive technology, you might dive deeper into areas like Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, or Bioinformatics.

Fordham’s location in New York City will provide you with unparalleled access to internships, research collaborations, and career pathways through our connections with research institutes and business leaders. Students in the math and computer & information sciences have had hands-on experiences at leading organizations like …

• IBM
• Philips
• Microsoft
• Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
• MIT Lincoln Laboratory
• SiriusXM

As a math and computer & information sciences major, you’ll be prepared for advanced study and careers in data analysis, programming, cybersecurity, information technology, and software development, to name a few areas.

At Fordham, you’ll use AI as a tool to enhance your learning. Our program will equip you with the skills you need to navigate the ever-changing landscape of AI in the workforce. As a math and computer & information sciences major, AI will be a major part of your curriculum and courses. You’ll explore the ethical and social risks of using AI. But you’ll also learn to use AI for efficiency and productivity, especially in areas like coding, software development, and system architecture. And you’ll be prepared for high-growth roles in AI-driven systems management, predictive technology, and other fields.

You’ll also be able to earn credentials and paid micro-internships through IBM SkillsBuild’s Getting Started with AI course. All Fordham students and graduates have access to AI training through RamConnect, the University’s alumni and experiential learning platform.

Above all, you’ll learn skills that can’t be replaced by AI, such as critical thinking, problem solving, and experimentation. Though AI can solve some complex problems autonomously, it lacks basic discernment. Which questions are worth asking in the first place? How can those questions be used to find solutions that make a positive impact? That's where you come in—your knowledge, experiences, creativity, and unique point of view that can’t be replaced by technology.
