Choose Your Track

Pure Mathematics

For students who are seeking a broad mathematical background, Pure Mathematics provides the quantitative and analytical skills ideal for graduate school or education certification.

Applied Mathematics

Students majoring in Applied Mathematics will develop the strong math foundation required to solve real-world problems. This is ideal for students interested in business, industry, or graduate school in applied mathematics.

Actuarial Sciences

The Actuarial Sciences major prepares students to become actuaries, professionals who analyze the financial costs of risk and uncertainty. Students will be prepared to take Exam P and FM (the first two actuarial exams).

Research Opportunities

Students in the Mathematics department regularly take part in individualized experiences to help them develop as mathematicians. Opportunities include the Honors Program, Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), Independent Studies, and Student Opportunities for Academic Research (SOAR).


Our Annual Events

This one-day event is a fantastic opportunity for students from around the region to present their work and be inspired by their fellow undergraduate colleagues, stepping outside of each college campus to join a greater math community.

Student Scholarship Day

Students who have engaged in independent research are invited each spring to participate in talks, presentations, and poster sessions. The campus community is encouraged to attend and discover the research being conducted across the university.

91pornÔ­´´ Math Matters (M3)

Every spring, M3 brings local high-school students to campus to experience math in the world. These students get to work with our faculty members in small workshops to explore interesting aspects of mathematics. Through this outreach event, we promote higher math education and share ideas about what students can do with a mathematics degree.

Discrete Mathematics Days 

Hosted by the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent College (LVAIC), Discrete Math Days are held at least once a semester, allowing 91pornÔ­´´ students to present their work to students and faculty from other LVAIC institutions.
