The Mathematics Department, following recommendations by the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics of the Mathematical Association of America, offers its majors a basic grounding in calculus, modern algebra and real analysis. Students are introduced to the language of mathematics, learn to formulate and solve mathematical problems, and develop a facility with advanced mathematical technique and abstraction. A wide choice of elective courses allows students to pursue varied career goals. Our students are well prepared to choose graduate education, secondary teaching certification or to enter the work force directly.
For students interested in engineering, the Mathematics Department participates in a cooperative engineering program. For details, see the Special Programs section of the catalog, and the Cooperative Engineering Program requirements section below.
Students can earn college credit for either Calculus I (MATH 110 .) or Calculus I and Calculus II (MATH 120 .) by scoring a four or a five on the Advanced Placement (AP) examinations. Alternatively, students may earn credit for Calculus I by passing an examination given by the department each fall. Incoming students must contact the department by August 1 if they wish to sit for the examination.
