Introduction to Programming. 3 An understanding and appreciation for programming is essential to the information systems field. Although most IS professionals are not programmers, all will interact with programmers, be involved with software engineering projects, and have opportunities to use simple programs to move data, and automate tasks, including tasks within spreadsheet and other office productivity tools. ITEC 109 – Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving. 3 or ITEC 120 – Principles of Computer Science I. 4 Data Management Core. 6 Data Analysis and Data Management are at the heart of the IS profession. The two most important tools in that area are spreadsheets and database management systems. The two required core courses of the IS minor build practical and conceptual expertise with these two essential technologies. ITEC 281. Data Management and Analysis with Spreadsheets 3 ITEC 304. Database from the Manager’s Perspective 3 I.T. Elective Hours 2-3 count toward the minor. The minor GPA will be calculated by using the 18 best hours applied toward the minor. UNDERGRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN INFORMATION SECURITY Students seeking the Information Security Certificate must have successfully completed Principles of Computer Science I (ITEC 120) with grade of “C” or better prior to being admitted. The certificate addresses issues across different aspects of computing, raises awareness of security risks, and improves the ability of our students to develop end-to-end security solutions. Students must complete the following three courses: Certificate Requirements 9 ITEC 345. Introduction to Computer Security. 3 ITEC 445. Computer System and Database Security. 3 ITEC 455. Applied Cryptography and Network Security. 3 MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS ITEC elective hours allow the student seeking a minor in Information Systems to explore an additional area that is of interest to them and/ or that complements their major field of study. Students are encouraged to consult with a minor advisor when selecting an elective class or classes. Students may select any ITEC prefixed class however they may not count a second foundations course. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MINOR 18 The Information Technology minor consists of 18 credit hours of ITEC courses. Courses cross-listed as ITEC courses may be used to 186 M. Jill Stewart, Chairperson Walker Hall 244, (540) 831-5670 www.radford.edu/~math-web/ UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a broad curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. Concentrations in Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Secondary Education, as well as a collaborative program with Virginia Tech in engineering, are available. Depending upon the particular course of study taken, the student will be prepared for a career in industry, government, or education.
B.A. OR B.S. DEGREE MATHEMATICS MAJOR The major is available with a choice of three concentrations: Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Secondary Education. Core Curriculum Requirements 43-45 (See p. 71.) Three hours of mathematics courses required for the major may be included as part of the 43-45 hour Core Curriculum requirement. B.A. and B.S. Requirements The Bachelor of Arts degree requires completion of the B.A. language requirements described on p. 80 of this catalog. B.S. requirements are listed with the respective concentrations. Required Courses 18 All majors in mathematics must take: M AT H 151:152. Calculus and Analytic Geometry I and II. 6 MATH 251:252. Calculus and Analytic Geometry III and IV. 6 MATH 260. Introductory Linear Algebra. 3 STAT 301. Probability and Statistics I. 3 A grade of at least a “C” is required in each course in the calculus sequence. Any departmental majors receiving credit for MATH 252 cannot subsequently receive credit for any 100-level mathematics course unless the course is required for their concentration.
