You will meet students interested in pursuing careers in actuarial science, computer programming, informational technology, teaching and business. Ursinus professors have received national attention for their student-centered approaches to teaching topics such as calculus and topology. For students seeking employment directly after graduation, we offer an applications-oriented curriculum. But we also have the theory courses necessary for those planning on graduate school.
Majors build on a strong core of mathematics or computer science courses.
They have the opportunity to pursue individual interests through study in depth of a particular area of mathematics or computer science and through independent study of a topic. An increasing number of students choose to double-major in mathematics and computer science. Our graduates have entered a wide range of fields, from actuarial science and information technology to teaching and business. Students have received graduate fellowships at such institutions as Lehigh University, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Virginia. Professors have received national attention for their student-centered approaches to teaching subjects from introductory calculus to topology.
