SRU's Mathematics program will provide you with a strong math core—from calculus to abstract algebra—while also enabling you to tailor your education to your interests and career goals. Our mathematics majors are part of a strong academic community, built on dynamic student clubs and activities, interactive study spaces, and opportunities to work closely with our dedicated faculty—who are committed to excellence in teaching and excited to get to know you as an individual.
SRU students major in mathematics so they can become actuaries, high school teachers, and for access to many other positions for which mathematics gives them an advantage over other job applicants.
