William Penn University’s Mathematics Department provides students with the problem-solving, critical thinking, and abstract reasoning skills they need to succeed in the professional world. Students get the one-on-one time and attention they need to really excel.
Applied Mathematics Program
The Applied Mathematics major allows students to implement what they have learned to other areas of study, while taking fewer math courses. Graduates in this department are in high demand and tend to receive higher starting salaries and more job offers than they expected. Employers, in any job, look for success in math and see it as a sign of strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills
General Mathematics Program
The General Mathematics program offers students the opportunity to develop and acquire necessary undergraduate knowledge in a variety of related mathematics topics and essential skills to be utilized in changing environments through a mixture of problem solving, application, and fundamental theory. A secondary teaching endorsement and a minor in mathematics are also available.
Our General and Applied Mathematics programs give our graduates the skills and confidence necessary to solve real-world problems, to succeed in a wide variety of careers, and to better appreciate the intrinsic logic of the universe.
General and Applied Mathematics graduates have continued their education in graduate school or have found employment within the following areas or companies:
If a student is considering attending graduate school and would like to obtain real-world experience to enhance their higher education capabilities, an internship is an excellent opportunity to explore his or her chosen field.
