Department of Computer Science and Mathematics
Welcome to the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics
The Department of Computer Science and Mathematics at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Olsen College of Engineering and Science is dedicated to advancing knowledge, fostering innovation, and preparing students to solve the complex challenges of today’s digital and data-driven world.
Our programs are designed to provide a strong foundation in theory, problem-solving, and practical application — equipping students with the analytical, computational, and critical-thinking skills essential for success in a rapidly evolving global landscape. Whether through cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence, data science, cybersecurity, or through deep explorations in applied mathematics and statistics, our students learn to connect abstract ideas with real-world impact.
Faculty in the department are active scholars and mentors who bring industry expertise, research excellence, and a passion for teaching into the classroom and laboratory. Students benefit from small class sizes, hands-on projects, and collaborative opportunities across disciplines — including partnerships with engineering, biological sciences, and business — that reflect the interconnected nature of modern STEM fields.
Graduates of our programs go on to thrive in diverse careers in technology, finance, engineering, research, education, and beyond — or pursue advanced studies at leading institutions.
We invite you to explore our programs, meet our faculty, and discover how the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics is shaping the innovators and problem-solvers of tomorrow.
FDU is designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education by the National Security Agency and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
