The mathematics program at Benedictine guides each student to develop outstanding mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills.

Our majors study under experienced faculty who have doctoral degrees in the areas of applied mathematics, functional analysis, hyperbolic geometry, abstract algebra, biomathematics and statistics. Our flexible curriculum allows students to tailor their coursework to their passions and specific career interests. That could mean preparing for graduate school by taking a course load that is heavy in mathematical theory or aiming for a career in business by focusing on statistics and the theory of interest. Our program is also set up so students can easily add a minor or double major, making them even more competitive as they enter the workforce.
