Math minors have an undeniable love for solving complex numeric problems and finding real-world uses for their efforts. The mission of the Department of Mathematics is to provide a challenging and rigorous undergraduate education in mathematics to include a demanding set of course requirements and extensive mentoring by faculty on academic topics, careers and graduate education.

The Department of Mathematics offers a minor in mathematics. The mathematics program is designed to prepare students for positions in business and industry, for graduate work in mathematics, statistics and operations research, for professional programs and for teaching mathematics.

The Mathematics Department cultivates a close relationship with students using many tools including numerous office hours, attending professional conferences with students, and by hosting two social events: the Donut and Puzzle Party in the fall and a picnic in the spring.
