The mission of the Department of Mathematics is to teach courses with the intent of increasing your literacy and competency in mathematics and providing the academic foundation for those who desire to be professional mathematicians, mathematics educators, or to work in areas that require a strong mathematical background. There is a constant and growing demand for training in the mathematical sciences in our modern technological society. You may select from a wide range of course offerings including courses designed for general education, for preprofessional studies (engineering, medicine, law, and so forth), and for major programs. Both the B.A. and B.S. degrees are offered with either the regular major, applied major, or the teaching major in mathematics. A Masters in Education with Emphasis in Mathematics is offered in cooperation with the Department of Education.
