Mathematics

Department Website

Mathematics is a dynamic and collaborative field. Studying mathematics prepares students for future graduate studies not only in math, but in a wide variety of analytical disciplines such as computer science, physics and engineering. It can also help to prepare students for professional studies in fields like medicine and law. Fundamentally, a background in mathematics benefits those pursuing careers where problem-solving, high-level analysis, critical thinking and persistence are useful. Mathematical training teaches students how to read and communicate complex ideas as well as computational skills. Our department offers a major and minor in mathematics, with areas of emphasis in actuarial, education, applied or general mathematics. 

The degree program offers two tracks: a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in mathematics and a special five-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science degree in mathematics. Students benefit from relatively small classes, including many upper-level sections for both Honors and advanced students. In addition, the department serves many of the disciplines within the university through course offerings which provide basic mathematical skills. A mathematics minor or double major complements many primary areas of study, particularly the sciences.
