Mathematics Major

The curriculum in mathematics provides the knowledge and experience needed to be a professional mathematician or pursue advanced study in a related area. The courses provide a balance between applied and theoretical problem solving, while the Junior Seminar and Senior Experience allow an in-depth exploration of an area beyond the formal courses. The design of the major provides ample opportunity to pursue a minor in business, computer science, or any of the data-rich fields in the social sciences to expand potential career opportunities or prepare for law school.

Students completing the major in mathematics will have satisfied content area requirements for Pennsylvania Secondary Certification in Mathematics.
