The Department of Mathematics at Lenoir-Rhyne College offers a strong background in mathematics with areas of specialization to meet the various intellectual interests and career needs of our students. Students may specialize in Theoretical Mathematics, General Mathematics, or Secondary Certifications. Upon completion of a degree in mathematics, students are prepared for entry into graduate programs, a career in education, or a position in business and industry. Our students obtain a background in the various branches of mathematics, develop an understanding of the logical structures of mathematics, and are encouraged in the application of mathematical models to problem solving.
Students also study computer science, broadening their application of mathematical tools.
Minors The Department offers options for additional study for all students, regardless of their major field of study. A strong background in mathematics combined with a concentration in another field allows students to make connections between fields that can lead to new opportunities for satisfying careers. Students receive a strong mathematical background, as well as background in educational theory. Students gain experience through internships with public schools and tutoring on campus. Laboratory science and computer science preparation help tie the mathematics to applications.
