Department of Mathematics and Statistics

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides course work leading to both undergraduate and graduate degrees. The faculty members are active and dedicated scholars, with an enthusiastic interest in teaching, and ongoing, significant, research programs. Innovative teaching methods are integrated through the mathematics curriculum. The faculty is deeply committed to each student’s intellectual growth, maintaining ongoing personal interaction to ensure high-quality instruction across all areas of mathematics.

Degrees Offered:

• Mathematics (Applied Mathematics) – Bachelor of Science
• Mathematics (Pure Mathematics) – Bachelor of Science
• Mathematics (Statistics and Data Analytics) – Bachelor of Science
• Applied Mathematics - Master of Science
• Data Analytics - Master of Science
• Applied Science and Technology - Doctor of Philosophy with Concentration in Data Science and Analytics

Why Major in Mathematics & Statistics? 

• Mathematics and Statistics opens doors to nearly all other fields, including STEM, business, education, law, and health care.
  
• Mathematics and Statistics majors affect change in a society driven by numerical and statistical data. Mathematics is all around us, on our devices and in nature. 
• Mathematics and Statistics cultivate experiential learning both through global learning and undergraduate research. Mathematics, Statistics, and Data Science are global fields with deep and broad impacts.
• Mathematics and Statistics are the essential foundations of artificial intelligence (AI) research, providing the theoretical frameworks for developing algorithms, managing data, and optimizing model performance. 

Our Mathematics, Statistics, and STEM Family

• Student Organization: Squadratics is a math club that helps support current and prospective students interested in pursuing careers and/or graduate studies in mathematics. 
  
• Student Organization: Pi Mu Epsilon student chapter. Pi Mu Epsilon is dedicated to the promotion of mathematics and recognition of students who successfully pursue mathematical understanding.

• Annual SciTeck Week: The College of Science & Technology hosts its annual SciTech Week in March of each year. This is a time when local high school and college students investigate and celebrate all the STEM has to offer. Events include a career and graduate school expo, a research fair, alumni panel discussions, and the innovation challenge.

• Experiential Learning: Students participate in several experiential learning opportunities including career and graduate school development opportunities, department seminars, the Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series, lunch and learns, lobby days, and community service projects. One of the key highlights of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics is the opportunity for mentoring, both vertical and horizontal. Students locally participate in undergraduate research fairs and departmental events that spread awareness about global learning and undergraduate research in Mathematics and Statistics. Most students participate in research experiences for undergraduates (REU) or summer internships with both local and major national companies. Students cultivate an original, thoughtful capstone project.
