Department of Mathematics

Attention: The Mathematics Department has moved out of Anderson Hall. Go to the campus map and select "25 University Ave" from the menu on the left to find our present location.

The Department of Mathematics offers a BA degree in mathematics, a BS degree in mathematics, and a BSEd degree in mathematics education. By choosing from available electives, students can specialize in specific branches of mathematics or pursue a concentration in a related field such as financial mathematics, statistics or actuarial science. In all degree programs, students receive a sound preparation for graduate study.

The Department of Mathematics offers the master of arts degree with options in mathematics and mathematics education, the master of science degree in applied statistics, and a certificate in applied statistics.

Feel free to visit the Math Center located in UNA 105, for mathematics resources and tutoring.
