Transylvania\u2019s math program offers strong preparation for graduate study or careers in math by helping students become well-grounded in computing, math reasoning and proofs. Our professors also encourage students to connect with other disciplines. Most of our recent graduates have had double majors, combining math studies with subject areas such as economics, computer science, pre-law, pre-medicine or physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students take courses in classical mathematics as well as new courses that are completely designed by their professors. You receive personal attention from the moment you step into the classroom until well after graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A variety of out-of-class opportunities expand your knowledge of the field. Math majors may do research on and off campus or test themselves in national competitions. A student may want to complete an internship with an actuarial firm or study math abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
