Program Overview
The Mathematics major prepares students for graduate study in mathematics or related areas that rely heavily upon theoretical mathematics. Employment opportunities with this background include teaching and research at the college or university level or being a member of a research team in government or industry.
Asbury’s mathematics department has a rich history of graduates who have been successful in graduate school and subsequent academic and research careers.
At Asbury University, you will receive a Christ-centered and student-focused education that will provide you with the background needed to succeed in the industry. Big-box schools may have larger departments and bigger budgets, but you do not get customized, better training by being one of hundreds in a class. As an Asbury student, in both introductory and upper division math classes, the small class sizes ensure professors are available to answer your questions, leaving you ready for the steps ahead. In addition, the Foundations program will offer you the resources to think deeply and engage society in a marketplace that demands integrative thinking.
Many of our students do research and internships with other highly respected institutions and companies, and every year Asbury receives compliments about the quality, knowledge and work ethic of our students. Many of those students then receive scholarships for graduate school.
As a Mathematics major, you can expect to take courses like:
The Mathematics major allows you flexibility in choosing a minor area of study as an application of the mathematical and critical thinking skills that you learn in your math courses. Suggested minors range from the sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or the Computer Science emphasis) to Business Administration, Art & Design or Media Communication.
The Hamann-Ray Science Center is home to the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science classrooms and offices.
The Mathematics major prepares you for graduate study in mathematics, mathematical physics, operations research, statistics, or a related area that relies heavily upon the foundation of theoretical mathematics. With this background, opportunities open up for eventual employment in teaching and research at the college or university level, or in being a member of a research team in government or industry.
