Overview
The Math and Computer Science Division provides excellence in student-centered learning to prepare students with the knowledge, competencies, and experience necessary to compete successfully in today’s real-world economy, and offers services to address the computer science training and consulting needs of the community. The Division features Technical certification and Applied instruction, but we also recognize a responsibility to the broader community in building the student as a whole person through broad-based education, scholarship, and service. Faculty are active in professional and civic organizations and are encouraged to author and present cutting-edge learning to regional and national organizations as well as popular and peer-reviewed media. The faculty firmly believes these activities are centrally important for maintaining the relevancy and instructional quality of the Division’s curriculum

Expectation of Students
The skills and subject knowledge that we teach and expect graduates to master are as follows:
- A basic knowledge relevant to computer science and the operation of computers.
- Understand key computer science languages.
- Define key concepts in Computer Science.
- Create effective computer programs.
- Understand the basic concepts of working in a CIT environment
- Effectively work with other CIT students in collaborative programming.
Students are strongly advised to develop Program Plans with a Computer Science Division faculty advisor early in their academic careers. Program Plans help the student to understand the course requirements that must be fulfilled to graduate with a recognition of completion (certificate or degree). Planning also enables students to learn more about the proper sequencing of courses, which is a key to academic success.
Preparation for Future Studies
Students are encouraged to continue to study in the field of Math & Computer Science. McCall College programs are not accredited and courses or programs may not be accepted or recognized by any other educational institution.
Clubs
The Math & Computer Science Division welcomes student-lead organizations. If student(s) are interested in creating such an organization, McCall College will encourage such organizations that support the Mission, Vision, and Values of the college, and furthers the goals of allowing students to actively participate / lead in networking with fellow students and with the computer science community. Such organizations are not restricted to, but may include the following: fund-raising for scholarships and College development, meeting and networking with CIT professionals, McCall College alumni, exploring career options in CIT fields, and developing an awareness of educational requirements. Students may also earn credit for their participation (requires prior approval).
