Mathematics Major

Mathematics is known as a universal language, and a mathematics degree at Grace College will teach you to speak it. A mathematics major offers countless career opportunities, from education to physics, economics, and computer science.

At Grace College, we understand that mathematics is the language we use to analyze, understand, and predict God’s Creation (Gen. 1:28). You’ll learn to write coherent proofs in a way that succinctly communicates truth, and you’ll be challenged to creatively solve problems relevant to our world.

As a mathematics major, you’ll dive into the foundations of math and science with courses in calculus, physics, proofs, and differential equations. You’ll also choose classes based on your interests, whether that’s geometry, probability, or algebra.

You can expect both to learn theoretical mathematics and to apply them in areas such as Google’s PageRank algorithm, RSA cryptography, and classical physics.

As comprehensive as our mathematics program is, we know that learning only goes so far in the classroom. That’s why you’ll also complete an internship dealing with data, code, or formulas as part of the mathematics program. You may choose a location close to Grace, or you may work in your hometown.

When you graduate with a mathematics degree, you’ll be prepared for any STEM field. Graduates have gone on to work as biostatisticians, chief technology officers, economists, and data analysts.
