Mathematics Emphasis (Chemistry major - applied)
Sure, two plus two is four. But if you’re here, you’re probably interested in exploring what’s beyond math’s basics. And your options are endless: statistics, calculus, geometry, abstract algebra, topology, differential equations and many more! Dig deeper into the incredible body of knowledge that constitutes mathematics by earning your degree in the field.

Having trouble choosing just one degree? Apply your chemistry knowledge to high-level math courses, creating a unique concentration that will doubly serve you in your field of work.

In today’s world, almost everything involves computers in one way or another. The field of electrical and computer engineering has played a major role in that shift, creating a more accessible world using breakthrough technology — which only continues to advance. Be a part of innovating the future.

Dive into a highly rigorous program where courses are taught by experienced and talented professors who invest their lives in developing your intellectual abilities, knowledge and character. Gain extensive hands-on experience through coursework and projects in our brand-new Fields Engineering Center, equipped with state-of-the-art labs and resources.

Work alongside peers who will challenge and support your intellect and welcome your enthusiasm. A faith-based perspective applied to the discipline will help you see the field in a new light.

Plus, the problem-solving skills you finesse will apply far beyond just equations. A mathematics major will fully equip you for employment in the industry or for enrolling in a graduate program in mathematics.

Applied
The more mathematics an engineering, science, computer science or business student takes, the more jobs openings and graduate school openings are available to that student. The applied mathematics degree is an especially good choice for a double major for students who are already required to have a minor in mathematics, such as engineering and computer science majors. It also qualifies business students to work as an actuary.

We developed our applied biochemistry curriculum to give you exactly what you need to excel. Our dedicated faculty will prepare you for admission to competitive health-related professional schools — without advanced mathematics.

Scripture tells us we are “fearfully and wonderfully” made—and few know that better than a physicist! Pretty deep language for something that absolutely rules daily life (like the fact we walk on the ground rather than float hither and yon). Investigate the principles of physics with a high regard for creation’s God-given wonder, complexity, and amazing power.
