Is This Program for Me?
Are you creative and detail-oriented? Do you enjoy solving puzzles and applying logical reasoning to real-world problems? Then, our Mathematics Major is for you!
Many people believe that doing mathematics is synonymous with performing calculations, but it is much more than that. Mathematics is the study of quantity, space, structure and change; built on logic and abstraction.
If you're intrigued by this major, you'll discover it offers a versatile foundation that complements a wide array of interests. Mathematical skills and training are highly valued by employers across many fields, making it an asset regardless of your career aspirations.
What Will I Learn?
Our goal is to provide you with a supportive yet challenging academic experience, where you are encouraged to develop into well-rounded mathematical thinkers. We do this through a rigorous program of study as part of a strong liberal arts education. We help guide you not only through our program but through decisions about where to go from here, whether it be graduate school or a wide variety of career opportunities.
Through coursework, internships and faculty-led research, you will graduate with the ability to think critically and logically, and to successfully navigate mathematical problem-solving, a process that includes formulating a problem, solving it correctly and then properly interpreting the results to draw valid conclusions. You will also be equipped to communicate the process and results orally and in writing.
