Students may earn a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science by completing this program. Either mathematics or computer science may be selected as the first major. The student receives a degree appropriate for the first major (either a B.A. or a B.S.) with a notation of the second major. Students who satisfy the Liberal Studies requirement through the Liberal Studies General Core courses must take MAT 131 in place of MAT 111, PHY 211 in place of the second natural science, and MAT 304 for the final IGS requirement. Students who satisfy the Liberal Studies requirement through the Whitney Young Honors courses must take MAT 131, PHY 211, and MAT 304 in place of HON 122 and HON 221. The remaining program requirements, in addition to the rest of the Liberal Studies requirements and the University's graduation requirements, are: MAT 132, MAT 231, MAT 232, MAT 300, MAT 307, MAT 315, MAT 321, MAT 401, MAT 402, COS 107, COS 108, COS 109, COS 300, COS 301, COS 302, COS 310, COS 340, COS 410, COS 470, PHY 212, 3 semester hours of 300/400 level elective selected from either computer science or mathematics, and 3 semester hours of COS 200/300/400 elective. While each major also requires 6 hours of free elective, students may choose to satisfy the 6 hours in one major with required courses in the other major (see Kentucky State University Catalogue," Undergraduate Academic Regulations and Policies, Section VII). Students who qualify for initial placement into MAT 131 may replace COS 107 with COS 101. All computer science and mathematics elective courses must be approved by the mathematics and computer science faculties. On the basis of placement test scores, students may also be required to complete MAT 095, 097, 115, 120. This curriculum requires minimum of 37 semester credit hours of mathematics, 36 semester credit hours of computer science, and 133 total semester credit hours (assumes students choose to satisfy the 6 hours of free electives in one major with required courses in the other major).

A minor in Mathematics requires the completion of 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include MAT 131, 132, 231; and the remaining 6 semester credit hours must be selected from upper-division mathematics courses approved by the mathematics faculty.
A minor in Physics requires the completion of at least 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include: PHY 211 and PHY 212. With approval of mathematics/physics area faculty, students may choose any 300-level physics or closely related discipline courses to complete the minor.
