Bachelor Of Science In Mathematics
General Mathematics Concentration Mathematics is a fundamental source of communication in science and serves a role in every area of collegiate study.
The purpose of the Mathematics program is to offer a broad based curriculum in science and mathematics that leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics or a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Secondary Education. A separate concentration for students interested in engineering is available in the form of a pre-engineering program resulting in a Mathematics Degree from North Greenville University and an Engineering degree from Clemson University.
In keeping with the institution’s Statement of Purpose, this program seeks to enable students to integrate academic discipline, Christian lifestyle, and an enriched cultural experience by offering course work that prepares students to pursue advanced studies, enter the teaching profession or enter into mathematics- related employment. The program will provide a basic foundation for beginning graduate studies in mathematics, teaching mathematics at the secondary level and seeking mathematics-related employment. Students will have a thorough understanding of mathematical concepts at the undergraduate level and will possess comprehension, application and critical thinking skills applicable to a wide range of opportunities in education and business.
The Department of Mathematics will guide students through the development of mathematical thinking and communication skills by helping them: (1) progress from a procedural/computational understanding of mathematics to a broad understanding encompassing logical reasoning, generalization, abstraction and formal proof, (2) gain experience in careful analysis of data and (3) become skilled at conveying mathematical knowledge in a variety of settings, both orally and in writing. In addition, the department will assist students in developing skills in a variety of technologies by giving them experience with technological tools such as computer algebra systems, visualization software, statistical packages and computer programming languages. Finally, the department will help students develop a broad view of the mathematical sciences by working with ideas representing the breadth of the mathematical sciences including: continuous and discrete, algebraic and geometric, theoretical and applied.
Students are asked to complete a senior-level project that requires them to analyze and create mathematical arguments. The resulting project makes connections

drawing on ideas and tools from previous coursework and is demonstrated with written and oral reports.
The Mathematics Department encourages and nurtures mathematical sciences majors by:
1. putting a high priority on effective and engaging teaching in introductory courses,
2. seeking out prospective majors and encouraging them to consider majoring in the mathematical sciences and
3. informing students about the careers open to mathematical sciences majors and assigning every major a mathematics faculty advisor.
The fact that mathematics is a cornerstone of modern society implies that the study of mathematical sciences is important for all students. It is also important that some leaders in all areas have the broader and deeper knowledge of mathematics conveyed by a degree in the mathematical sciences. Business, law, medicine and other professional schools seek mathematical sciences majors and would welcome more.
Students who plan to major in Mathematics or Mathematics Education or are interested in pre- engineering studies should consult the chair of the Department of Mathematics as soon as possible.
