Mathematics Major
Bachelor of Science Degree
No subject better reflects the glory of God than does mathematics. To study mathematics is to study
God’s thoughts after Him, for He is the great Engineer and Architect of the universe.
Man’s task is to search out the scientific and mathematical laws of the universe and to use
them for man’s benefit and the glory of God.
The mathematics major is prepared to use mathematical ideas in solving problems ranging from
everyday applications to more sophisticated applications in the physical sciences. Mathematics
is the vehicle that allows a student to state and understand relationships among various laws of
God’s creation. With insight into these relationships and with manipulative skills, the
student can realize the powerful hand of God in His design of and care for the universe.
Academic requirements: Students must have at least a “C” in all
mathematics and science courses. A minor must be completed.
Academic Program Fee: $90 per semester or $22.50 per payment.
