A Message from the Department Chair, Lesa Beverly

Mathematics is one of the most interesting, challenging and practical majors a student can choose. A degree in mathematics is recognized as valuable by many professions because of the inherent emphasis on the development of critical thinking, problem-solving and logical reasoning skills. Careers utilizing mathematics and statistics consistently rank at the top in job satisfaction surveys that are published every year. Our faculty love their discipline and are committed to sharing it with students via teaching and research. Our majors will tell you that we’re always here for you whenever you have a homework problem, a registration question or just want to explore an intriguing idea or conjecture. Come by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and let us introduce you to the beauty of mathematics and statistics. 

If you have questions about pursuing a degree in mathematics, we are here to help!
