Mathematics Major

Bachelor of Science Degree


Program Overview

The mathematics major aims to develop patience along with tools of abstract reasoning - to think and, hence, to solve problems in the world of social sciences and the world of physical sciences. The mathematics major develops the knowledge and skills to address applied mathematical problems in business, engineering, science and other fields as well as pursue advanced studies in the area of pure mathematics.

The mathematics major is designed to provide:

  • A valuable tool for use in any discipline
  • A conceptual framework in the liberal arts tradition addressing the scope, power and application of mathematics
  • The background necessary for graduate work in mathematics

Outcomes

"I selected mathematics as my major because of the patterns and abstractions of math. The relationships between numbers and functions resemble the beauty with which God created our universe. The fact that math is the language of our universe testifies the glory of God. I like ORU because I can obtain a professional degree while studying in an environment where I can also learn about God."
