The mathematics minor provides students with computational and problem-solving skills, an understanding of basic physical principles, and the theory and applications necessary for use in post-baccalaureate study and in the work force. The minor prepares students for advanced degrees and employment in various math-related areas such as research, teaching, national defense, public health and more.
The mathematics minor provides students with computational and problem-solving skills
The mathematics program provides students with computational and problem-solving skills, an understanding of basic physical principles, and the theory and applications necessary for use in post-baccalaureate study and in the work force. Learners gain insights into physical and natural laws, and the analytical and logical thinking necessary for the application of these tools. The program prepares students for advanced degrees and employment in various math-related areas such as research, teaching, national defense, public health and more.
The Department of Mathematics is one of the fastest growing departments in the College of Sciences and Technology (COST). The primary goal is to ensure that every student in each math class has the maximum opportunity for success. The department offers a supportive environment by providing a well-organized tutoring center run by qualified faculty and students.

Courses Overview
The curriculum in mathematics is designed for those students who are interested in careers in mathematics or related fields in industry, government or in pursuing an advanced degree in pure or applied mathematics.
The mathematics program offers courses leading to a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree, as well as a minor in mathematics and physics. The program promotes an extensive interdisciplinary approach to provide students with a sound educational background that will make them more marketable and prepared for gainful employment or graduate studies.
The main objectives of the mathematics program are (1) to provide a program of study in mathematics, physics and physical science to enable students to achieve computational and problem-solving skills while gaining an understanding of basic physical principles and (2) to provide students in mathematics with the theory and applications necessary for use in post-baccalaureate studies and/or in the work force. The program gives students insights into physical and natural laws and helps them gain analytical and logical thinking skills necessary for the application of these tools in the various fields as measured by departmental and national level examinations.
NSF S-STEM Program
The main goal of the S-STEM program is to enable academically talented, low-income students to pursue successful careers in promising STEM fields. Ultimately, the S-STEM program seeks to increase the number of academically promising low-income students who graduate with an S-STEM eligible degree and contribute to the American innovation economy with their STEM knowledge. Recognizing that financial aid alone cannot increase retention and graduation in STEM, the program provides awards to institutions of higher education (IHEs) not only to fund scholarships, but also to adapt, implement, and study evidence-based curricular and co-curricular[a] activities that have been shown to be effective in supporting recruitment, retention, transfer (if appropriate), student success, academic/career pathways, and graduation in STEM.
