Degree Programs
The Department of Mathematics offers two degree programs, the B.A. in Mathematics and the B.S. in Applied Mathematics. The B.A. is the traditional liberal arts degree with a major in mathematics. The B.S. is a degree program designed to respond to the growing influence of mathematics in business and industrial practices. Students must select a concentration in either general mathematics or actuarial science.
In addition to our degree programs, the Department provides
extensive support for other programs requiring mathematics courses,
including the new PhD program in Computational Engineering. We also
offer a minor in mathematics as well as a joint effort with the College
of Education and Applied Science with a degree in Mathematics Education.
Facilities and Faculty
The Mathematics Department and classrooms are located in a brand-new state-of-the-art facility that most other Mathematics departments only dream of. The modern mathematics labs are equipped with the latest computers and software such as Maple and Matlab. All classrooms are wired for internet connections.
The Mathematics faculty is very dedicated and is continually looking for ways to improve teaching methods. Research areas of the Mathematics faculty are diverse and cover a wide range from applied to theoretical mathematics.
