Mathematics

The Department offers three undergraduate degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, and a new Bachelor of Science in Data Science. The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics requires less courses allowing for a broader liberal arts education and has three concentrations: Comprehensive, Education, and Statistics. The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics provides a more specialized and extensive training in mathematics designed to prepare students to work in more intensive fields or pursue advanced degrees. The Bachelor of Science in Data Science is an interdisciplinary degree, offered jointly with the Department of Computer Science, providing students with the theoretical foundations, practical knowledge, and skills needed to become a data scientist able to manage and process big data. The Department also offers minors in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics and Operations Research and a Certificate of Undergraduate Study (CUGS) in Statistics, which can augment various undergraduate programs.

In addition, the Department offers a Master of Arts in Mathematics, which can be paired with the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics as an accelerated dual degree program (ADD) to earn a dual degree in five years. The Department also supports the Master of Arts in STEM Education through an accelerated dual degree program (ADD) with the Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics (Education Concentration).

While the first concern of all the faculty in the Department is excellence in teaching, Department members also do research in pure mathematics, various applied mathematical sciences, statistics, and mathematics education. The Department also sponsors the Math Team (our student club), student competitions, an active faculty-student research agenda, and a regular colloquium series. The Department is located on the second floor of Robinson Hall.
