The Mathematics Departments mission is to introduce students to mathematics and statistics as important areas of human thought, to give students the mathematical and statistical knowledge necessary to teach mathematics at the secondary or elementary level, to prepare students for careers in statistics, data science, actuarial science, business, government, and industry, to serve the needs of students in fields that rely on mathematics and statistics, and to prepare students for graduate studies in mathematics and statistics. The Department offers a Bachelor of Science degree with optional concentrations in pure mathematics and/or statistics, as well as minors in mathematics, statistics, and actuarial science. We also offer graduate programs leading to a Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics. The Mathematics Department is located in the new $100M Dana Mohler-Faria Center for Science and Mathematics. In addition to serving approximately 250 majors, we provide a large number of courses for the general student population.
