Introduction to the Mathematics Program 

Our mathematics program is designed to prepare students for careers in both teaching and industry. Students who complete mathematics major or minor programs have historically been viewed by employers as being well prepared for jobs that require problem solving and creative thinking skills.

About the Mathematics Program 

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics: This degree provides students with broad exposure to disciplines in mathematics. Many of our students in this major enroll in either graduate programs in the mathematical sciences or professional schools (like law and medicine). Our two minors are popular among students majoring in both science and non-science disciplines.

Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics Education: This degree prepares students for a career in secondary education (grades 9-12) as mathematics educators.

History of the Mathematics Program 

The program offers two majors, the Mathematics Major leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, and the Mathematics Education Major leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. The program also offers two minors, the Math Minor and the Applied Math Minor.

The program has been a part of Seaver College from the beginning of the school. Originally only the B.S. Mathematics degree was offered. The Mathematics Minor added in 1991, the Applied Mathematics Minor added in 2004, and the Mathematics Education Major added in 2007.
