THE STUDY OF MATHEMATICS NOT ONLY ENABLES students to learn mathematical principles and applications, it also develops their ability to think logically and critically. A mathematics background provides students a foundation for success in many other disciplines including the physical, biological, and social sciences, and business, economics, and environmental studies.

The mathematics minor provides a solid quantitative component to complement any major. A minor in mathematics also makes a student’s background more attractive to almost any employer, and helps prepare a student for graduate study or further study in medical, dental, veterinary, or law school.
