The Department of Mathematics , Computer Science and Physics at Roanoke College has a long history of preparing students to succeed after Roanoke College. Our past graduates include the Associate Director of the FBI, a member of the faculty in Statistics at the University of Virginia, and many excellent public school teachers, just to describe a few. Our graduates are currently employed in positions such as computer programmers, systems analysts, research physicists, and even a veterinarian. However, we all recognize our major responsibility is excellence in teaching.
Every faculty member teaches freshman liberal arts students as well as senior majors.
The departmental faculty is also committed to involving undergraduates in research. These independent studies are quite beneficial to graduates seeking entrance to graduate schools or employment.
