Department of Math &
Computing Sciences
| The Sage Colleges have just been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program to offer scholarships and enhanced support services to qualified students!

The Department of Math & Computing Sciences at the Sage Colleges is a federation of three distinct colleges: Russell Sage College for Women (RSC), Sage College of Albany (SCA) and Sage Graduate School (SGS). These schools with campuses in Troy and Albany, New York are connected through a commitment to superior teaching and service to students.
Mathematics Programs – Russell Sage College – Troy,
NY
The mathematics programs at RSC provide women with the knowledge and skills necessary
to be competitive in our highly technological society or to attend graduate school.
With the aide of technology, the mathematics curriculum incorporates collaborative
and exploratory learning. This process allows small groups of students to collectively
solve open-ended problems and has been shown to decrease anxiety and increase
learning. It also provides students with a first hand experience at working as
part of a team, a skill which is very much in demand in today’s workforce.
The five-year Mathematics/Engineering program is governed by an articulation
agreement that Sage has with RPI. Students in this program receive two baccalaureate
degrees: a BA in mathematics from RSC and a BS in Engineering from RPI.
Computer Science Programs – Sage College of Albany – Albany,
NY
The computer science programs at SCA provide students with the knowledge
and skills to be competitive in our highly technical workforce or
to further their education. The program is oriented towards “hand-on” computing
in small classrooms and is constantly evolving with the changes in
the field.
There are two kinds of two year program, the AS and the AAS. The AS degree is suited for transfer into appropriate baccalaureate programs, although it will more than adequately serve as a terminal degree. The AAS program is designed primarily as a terminal degree, preparing the graduate for immediate employment. Transfer into baccalaureate programs is possible.
