Mathematics

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

Math teaches us about the character of God—His wisdom, infinity, order, and glory. It helps us accomplish the work God has called us to do. The Mathematics major is designed to prepare students for quantitative work in fields such as business, science, and industry. The program may also be used as a pathway to graduate school.

Maranatha’s Mathematics minor is designed to supplement a student’s education giving the student the skills and confidence they need when encountering quantitative information, helping to set the student apart from their peers, and providing a broader foundation than these fields can provide on their own.

Career Options

• Statistician • Businessperson • Actuary • Analyst • Quantitative researcher

Some careers and employment positions require graduate degrees, specialized training, or additional certificates and licenses.
