Department Mission Statement

1. Contributing to the growth and knowledge through a vigorous and varied program of faculty research.
2. Providing quality teaching of mathematics and statistics to a diverse group of students within the University, including:
   1. Undergraduate students in the University;
   2. Undergraduate mathematics majors and mathematics education majors;
   3. Graduate students in the University;
   4. Graduate students within the Department at the Masters and Doctoral levels.

Program Goals

1. The BA program shall provide students with a broad education with a focus on mathematics.
2. The BS program shall prepare students for graduate studies in the mathematical sciences or other technical areas, or for employment as a research mathematician.
3. The BA Mathematics Education program shall prepare students for employment as middle and high school mathematics teachers, and graduate studies in education.
4. The BS Mathematics Education program shall prepare students for employment as middle and high school mathematics teachers, and graduate studies in mathematics and education.
5. The BS in Mathematics & Economics (MAEC) is an interdisciplinary program offered by the Department ofMathematical Sciences in collaboration with the Department of Economics. The MAEC program shall shall prepare students for actuarial or finance careers, or further study in graduate school.
6. The BS in Quantitative Biology (QBIO) is an interdisciplinary major offered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences in collaboration with the Department of Biological Sciences. The QBIO program shall prepare students for a wide range of careers and postgraduate studies related to the quantitative study of the life sciences as found in medicine, industry, public health, government and education. Graduates will be well prepared for the challenges of solving interesting and important biological problems, from both biological and mathematical perspectives.
7. The graduate program shall prepare research mathematicians for post-doctoral study, tenure-track faculty positions or research positions outside of academia as research mathematicians.
