Mathematics Overview & Goals

Mathematics is a discipline that simultaneously offers an excellent supplement to other programs while remaining a rich field of study in its own right. The critical-thinking, problem-solving, and quantitative-reasoning skills learned here serve Bethanians well as productive members of the world in which they immerse themselves upon graduation.

In addition to a solid understanding in the foundations of computational and proof-based mathematics, our major provides a strong opportunity for students to apply their skills to actuarial sciences, computer science, economics, physics, and pure mathematics.

There are numerous research, presentation, and internship opportunities available to a Bethany mathematics major. A minor in mathematics and a dual major with economics are additional options for the interested student in other fields. Our graduates have successfully found homes in financial institutions, engineering, information solutions, and postgraduate research.
