Through teaching, research and service, the Department of Mathematics seeks to provide leadership in the mathematical sciences by preparing students with the mathematical understanding, problem-solving skills and dispositions that enable them to excel in their chosen careers; increasing mathematical and scientific knowledge through publication and presentation; supporting the broader mathematics education community; and mentoring others for generous service through a committed Christian life.

Students majoring in these and other fields will find that acquiring an additional major in mathematics or mathematical studies greatly enhances the marketability of their degree.
