Upon entrance to the college all students must take the College Placement Exam.
Placement depends on the choice of major or minor in addition to mathematics preparation.
The primary goal of the Mathematics Department is to teach students to think logically and critically. Strong support courses are provided for students in fields such as the natural, engineering, and social sciences, which rely substantially on mathematics and computing skills. Furthermore, the departmental programs and activities provide opportunities for academic excellence, intellectual development and a quality liberal arts education. Upon completion of the prescribed program of study in mathematics, the students should be able t 1. recognize that mathematics is an art as well as a powerful tool of science. 2. demonstrate an understanding of the theoretical concepts of mathematics and an ability to construct proofs at the appropriate level.
