BA/BS in Mathematics

The mathematics major combines a liberal arts setting with course offerings comparable to those at larger universities. Students can choose from a broad set of regularly offered courses across the discipline. Faculty members make time for close, individual attention, which supports growth regardless of a student's primary field. Majors may pursue independent study projects or tutorials on topics that interest them, working alongside department faculty who are glad to guide them. Such flexibility lets students shape their study around their own questions. Students are encouraged to pursue ideas that matter to them, whether theoretical or applied. Precise reasoning and problem-solving habits developed in the major transfer well to graduate study and to many professional fields. Graduates can apply those habits to research, analysis, and teaching.
