The Mathematics major lies within the Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences at St. John Fisher College. This administrative department and its majors emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication while stressing interdisciplinary learning.

The Mathematics major aims to:

  • Offer all students the opportunity to make contact with classical and modern mathematics.
  • Allow students who elect mathematics as a major to prepare adequately for graduate work in mathematics or applied mathematics, secondary school certifications, or employment in business or industry.
  • Provide background courses in areas of pure and applied mathematics.

The major in Mathematics may lead to either the B.A. or the B.S. degree.
