Small classes, excellent faculty, opportunities to work with faculty on projects, and strong employment prospects are just some of the strengths of the program. Students will be helped to develop:
- a solid foundation in mathematical studies;
- an awareness of the utility of mathematics, statistics, and computers;
- skills in translating practical problems into mathematical terms;
- a competency in the use of modern mathematical tools;
- problem-solving skills; and
- an awareness of the importance of mathematics in society.
The program is designed to prepare students for employment in business, industry, government, and education immediately after graduation, but graduate study in mathematics or related disciplines is also a viable alternative. Mathematical modeling is emphasized, and all students are required to take courses in statistics and computer science.
