Mathematics

Program Description

Mathematics is one of the basic pillars of a liberal arts education, as one of the oldest academic disciplines, valued for its intrinsic beauty, as training in logical and analytical reasoning, and for its widespread applications throughout other disciplines. As our society adopts more technology and collects more data, training in mathematics becomes ever more valuable. For these reasons the mathematics program prepares graduates as critical thinkers ready to join the rapidly developing and changing technical job force, as well as graduate studies in pure or applied mathematics.

Program Learning Outcomes
