Mathematics, B.S.
Mission
A Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics provides a strong foundational core for students who wish to pursue graduate studies in pure or applied mathematics; to pursue a career in applied mathematics (e.g., statistics, computer science, operations research, and actuarial mathematics) immediately after obtaining a B.S.; or to teach mathematics in middle school and high school. The courses taken to satisfy the degree requirements are taught viewing mathematics as part of God's creation, and there is a concentrated effort to integrate faith and learning.
Degree Program
A Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and the mathematics major in one of the concentrations. All mathematics concentrations must include 24 upper-division credits.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, students will be able to:
- Think critically, solve problems, and prove theorems in the abstract (ULO 1).
- Apply mathematical theory, problem solve, and use math-related technology in real-world contexts (ULO 1).
- Communicate mathematical ideas effectively, both verbally and in writing (ULO 1).
- Articulate the implications of a biblical worldview concerning mathematics (ULO 2 and 3).
Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information section of this catalog.
