Master the logic, computation, and security driving the digital economy.
The goal of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Claflin University is to give training in logical thought and expression, while preparing students for many careers as software and hardware professionals, in research and education, and business and cyber security analysis.
Our objective is achieved through concerned and quality teaching of the concepts, hands-on training in laboratories to enhance learning, independent research and summer internships. The programs concentrate on areas where mathematics and computing are most relevant to each other, emphasizing the bridges between theory and practice. It offers opportunities for potential computer scientists both to develop a deeper understanding of the mathematical foundations of their subject and to acquire a familiarity with the mathematics of application areas where computers can solve otherwise difficult problems. It also gives mathematicians access to both a practical understanding of the use of computers and a deeper understanding of the limits on the use of computers in their own subject.

SmartHOME is a short documentary film that explores a groundbreaking tech-forward health initiative.
A partnership between the Math and Computer Science department and the University’s Nursing program, Claflin’s SmartHOME is an intelligent home environment that monitors and records an individual's vital signs and collects health information about the people living in the home.
The home’s SMART technology connects a person's physical state to actions to identify, monitor, and help mitigate health risks, like diabetes and heart conditions, which are common problems facing many African Americans and are the leading causes of death. In addition to responding to an individual's health conditions, the vital sign history is analyzed for healthcare professionals to review, diagnose, and prescribe a course of action. The film seeks to highlight how SmartHOME fulfills Claflin President, Dr. Dwaun J. Warmack’s vision to “lead the nation in combating healthcare disparities in African American and other minority communities."
Join us as we highlight how this innovative solution to a real-world issue stands in a continuum of innovation at Claflin since it was founded in 1869.
