Representing Realities

Learn to Understand and Represent the World Around You

Join a year-long program to interact with the world of math and computation. You’ll also build connections with students who are as passionate about modeling the world around us as you.

This program is for students majoring in Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science, Geospatial, and Software Engineering.

At Humboldt, we learn in and from the environment around us

  • Immerse yourself in the North Coast

    Begin your semester exploring connections to the local region, as well as the languages of problem solving and modeling, a few days before the semester starts.

  • Gain Instant Connections

    Join a community of first-year students who are engaged and excited about studying math and computer science.

  • Get Hands-on Experience

    You’ll gain practical experience through field trips, projects, and research.

The Specialized Experiences that Make up Among Giants

Surrounded by Humboldt’s stunning natural beauty, you’ll connect representations of the world in local Native American art with ideas about patterns and structures in math and computer science. 

You’ll immerse yourself in problem solving, listen to renowned mathematicians at Kieval lectures, or gather a team of friends to compete in the LumberHacks Hackathon or the Mathematical Contest in Modeling.

Enroll in program-specific sections of major and general education courses. These courses will demonstrate the link between the participating majors as well as relate them to the place where you are choosing to live and study for the next four years.

Take a course that covers college basics (such as campus resources and study habits) and what it means to be a mathematician or computer scientist.

You also have the opportunity to live with other Representing Realities students. It’s a great way to meet people and make friends.
