“In my student days, the environment here allowed me to think through questions and form my own values and perspectives. This was such an important part of my formative years that it became a major reason for me to return as a professor.”

– Deirdre Smeltzer, professor of mathematics and chair of mathematical sciences

Mathematical Sciences

Logical analysis, precise measurements, forecasting trends and engineering problems of all sorts have a common thread – mathematics. And math has become an even more powerful tool with today’s computers.

Our programs prepare students for

  • graduate study,
  • teaching, and
  • careers in business or industry.

Most major courses have fewer than 15 students, so you’ll find professors who are accessible in a way that could not happen at a larger school.

Professors teach valuable skills, of course, but they also make special efforts to relate it to life — and to God’s call for Christian service.

The faculty offices, labs and classrooms are located in the Suter Science Center.
