St. Norbert College's mathematics program offers opportunities for its graduates to go on for further study in a number of areas. Most mathematics majors attending graduate school receive teaching or research assistantships which provide free tuition plus living expenses. Dr. Poss is the graduate school advisor. Many mathematics majors take enough computer science and business courses to go into careers involving computers. Each year there have been more positions available than there have been graduates to fill them.
Many students get multiple offers.
St. Norbert College provides a strong preparation for those who wish to enter a career in teaching in high school or middle school. The Teacher Education Program offers full certification for those wishing to enter this field. Many graduates of the program are able to find positions in the greater Green Bay area, but reciprocity agreements allow graduates to teach in surrounding states, if they so choose. For those who only know that they enjoy math and do well at it, and don't have any ideas of what kind of a career it will prepare them for, it is reassuring that there are a large number of career opportunities in fields other than those mentioned above. Mathematics provides a strong liberal arts background.
