Mathematical Sciences
A Career with Big Dividends & a Field Where Top Graduates are in High Demand
Are you gifted in math and aspire to enter the workforce with a solid foundation in mathematics, from a top regional school, enhancing your employability and salary potential? Virtually all Catawba College Mathematical Sciences graduates routinely have a job or are accepted into graduate school upon graduation because of high demand in this lucrative field.
Catawba’s Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Mathematical Sciences provides exposure to the same well-rounded curriculum but gives students an opportunity to explore a related field to mathematics such as Chemistry, Accounting, Economics, or Psychology in more depth.
Mathematics faculty come from a broad background with a range of interests. Faculty specialties range from algebraic combinatorics, foundational logic of mathematics, graph theory, algebra, group theory, and applied mathematics. These specialties in turn offer our students opportunities to pursue areas that have been unfamiliar to them.
Concentrations in the Mathematical Sciences degree program:
Small School, Big Learning
As a Mathematical Sciences major, you’ll benefit from small class sizes, close interaction with faculty who are experts in their field, and training in critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration.
Business Skills Development
Mathematical Sciences majors take courses and receive practice and training in presentation, and in oral and written communication skills that help well-position them for their place in the business world as subject matter experts in mathematics.
Research Presentations
You’ll present research at the annual Interdisciplinary Creativity Symposium or at professional conferences like the Kappa Mu Epsilon (Mathematics Honor Society) Regional Conference to grow your skills.
Morgan Hester '20 Mathematical Finance Major; Member of the Volleyball TeamI find the fact that there are not many girls in my major to be extremely motivating when it comes to striving for the goals I have set for myself in the future. I enjoy the challenge of learning what most people never even consider when it comes to technology and the mathematical steps behind everyday activities that people in our society undergo.
