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.
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 utilize mathematics 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.
The Applied Mathematics major allows students to apply 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 indicative of strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
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 thinking about continuing on to graduate school, but would like to obtain real-world experience to enhance higher education capabilities, an internship will be a great opportunity to explore his or her chosen field. Interning will provide students with a stronger understanding of professional environments, and generate future interview opportunities through job references. WPU students have student taught in the public education system and also interned with Musco Lighting.
