Mathematical theory will be at the core of your studies. You will explore the many branches of math including geometry, set theory, calculus and statistics. By comprehending foundational mathematical principles and becoming a creative problem-solver, you’ll have the traits to succeed in fields ranging from business to health. Using industry-standard programs like RStudio and Mathematica, you’ll tackle complex mathematical problems with simulations and modeling. Our interdisciplinary curriculum will also incorporate the tools of fields such as computer science, physics and economics into your studies, and give flexibility to add a major or minor in an area that supports your interests and career goals. Along the way, you’ll have the guidance of a diverse faculty, whose various areas of expertise and teaching styles are here to support a diverse cohort of students and help meet your unique needs. Apply mathematical concepts to the real-world problems that interest you. All students complete a capstone project investigating a topic of their choice and can showcase their research and communication skills at annual conferences, such as the Cal Lutheran Student Research Symposium and Festival of Scholars. You can also pursue internships, conduct summer research with a faculty member, and participate in nationwide math competitions. If you want to become a teacher, with our B.S. in math, you’ll be able to tailor your courses and look at math concepts through the lens of teaching. Our program is also approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. This means you can directly enter a teaching credential program after graduation without taking California’s exam for prospective credential candidates. If you plan to study economics, obtain a graduate business degree, or attend law school, a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics will allow you to complement your studies with non-science courses in your area of interest.
