One of the most beautiful and useful of all human sciences, mathematics is the fundamental study of quantity, space and structure. The Department of Mathematics trains students to develop their analytical problem-solving skills through both fundamental and applied mathematics for a variety of careers.
Our department’s experiential learning opportunities provide students with the chance to deepen their understanding of the world beyond the classroom.
A recent survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers reports that "the top 15 highest-earning college degrees all have one thing in common: math skills.” Our graduates have found successful employment in accounting, appraising, banking, data processing and market research analysis, as well as higher education, health care, financial services and computer sciences.
