DEPARTMENT OF MATH, ENGINEERING, AND COMPUTER SCIENCE:

In High Demand-
A strong market and high demand makes this an exciting time for new graduates in mathematics, engineering, and computer science. Graduates with a competitive edge land the best jobs. Carroll math, engineering, and Computer Science students receive an excellent education with practical training, giving them the competitive edge they need.

A strong foundation-

Carroll’s mathematics, engineering, and computer science curriculums, enhanced with liberal arts classes, build strong foundations to help future graduates achieve their greatest potential. Whether you’re preparing for an immediate professional career after graduation or continued studies in graduate school — Carroll will take you there.

Graduates leave Carroll with excellent preparation, enhanced with strong writing and communication skills. Students gain practical, hands-on experience through labs, international competitions, field trips, and internships. Carroll students have practical experiences to back the knowledge they learn in the classroom.

Expect more from Carroll-

At Carroll you are an individual. You don’t blend in, you stand out. You have the opportunity to excel in classes that are small, empowering you to own your education. Small classes provide more potential for personal interaction with professors. Carroll professors are experts in their disciplines, life-long learners, researchers, communicators, professionals and educators who share their insight and experiences in the classroom and in the field. They are here to help you succeed. Employers throughout the Northwest and graduate schools across the country acknowledge Carroll’s academic excellence.

Contact Department Chair Steve Harper 406/447-4466 (sharper -is-at- carroll -dot- edu) today to learn more about mathematics, engineering, or computer science at Carroll College.

Something for Everyone-

We are excited about the opportunities for our students! Whether you are a new or returning student, we are planning activities for you.

Our mentoring program connects freshmen and sophomores with upperclass students, faculty, and industry personnel. Come join us at one of our meetings to find out about life during and beyond school.

Civil Engineers can join our ASCE Student Chapter, which is involved in the national steel bridge design contest, as well as getting the word out to high school students about engineering.

Students from all disciplines are welcome to challenge themselves by partipating in the Mathematical and Interdisciplinary Contests in Modeling or the William Lowell Putnam Competition.

Check out our Activities Schedule to find out when, where, and how to get involved!
