Bachelor of Arts - Mathematics

A degree in mathematics is an excellent means of preparation for post-college years, whether a learner intends to work in business or industry, teach, or pursue graduate studies. The California Lutheran University provides a broad and challenging program designed to develop fundamental skills and to prepare them for lifelong learning.

The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics features small classes with an emphasis on faculty-student interaction, classroom technology to facilitate learning, computer labs for students exploration and discovery, and a focus on interdisciplinary applications. They are challenged to explore the many facets of mathematics and its applications through creative and critical thinking. Departmental space is set aside as a study and resource area for majors. Free tutoring for lower division courses is provided in the Math Lab.

The faculty encourage students to apply their mathematical knowledge by participating in internships, carrying out independent projects, and tutoring in the Math Lab. Other opportunities include participating in paid summer research programs across the nation, spending a semester studying mathematics abroad, preparing for and competing in national mathematics-related contests, and preparing posters and presentations for seminars and regional or national conferences.
