Mission Statement

Mathematics is deeply rooted in the liberal arts education as one of the traditional disciplines, and remains the backbone for many areas of study, including the sciences, computer technology, engineering, and the social sciences. The mission of the Mathematics Department is to provide excellent training which challenges and empowers our students to be lifelong mathematical thinkers. We strive to prepare our majors and minors for graduate work, for teaching, or for entering the work force.

As a component of the Central Curriculum, the Mathematics Department teaches basic mathematics coursework designed to foster critical thinking skills through problem solving and to provide foundational math skills for everyday life.

Description

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers a wide variety of courses in service to students in many disciplines. We provide general education courses in mathematics and computer science for all students, general physics for science and math majors, minors in mathematics and computer science for students in many majors, and a rigorous undergraduate curriculum in mathematics and computer science.
