AB  -                Encouraging Art and Science Cross-Departmental Collaboration                            through Interdisciplinary DegreesAbstractThe impact of computational algorithms on many art disciplines outside the arena mathematics,engineering, and technology has been no less than profound. This impact especially applies tobiology and criminal justice, two disciplines which have benefited immensely from the advancesin computer technology both at the hardware and the software sides. Drawing on the strengths ofthe Criminal Justice, the Biology, and the Computer and Information Sciences Departments, anew degree in Computational Sciences has been created (after going through the departmental,college, and the state approval process) for the first time at the institution, and became availableto student starting the fall of 2010. Heeding to the national calls to create new programs that willenhance the graduates employment chances, our degree aims at graduating the next generation ofstudents who are well-versed in the design, application, and understanding of computationalalgorithms as they apply them to their specific areas of specialization. The new degree allows forfuture inclusion of other areas/tracks that are proving to be more inter-disciplinary andcomputationally intensive such as biochemistry, nanotechnology, and neuroscience.

Some new courses are currentlybeing designed to accommodate Mathematics majors as well. We will also describe the newdegree plan and the administrative efforts of recruiting and advising new students in the newprogram.
