Mission of Mathematics @ MC
  The primary aim of the Mathematics faculty at Mississippi College is to offer and effectively teach courses in the field of Mathematics. The departmental curriculum is designed to offer a broad background for students who major in mathematics as well to accommodate students with special needs from other majors. 

Many of our graduates continue their formal education as graduate students in mathematics.  Others obtain positions with local companies in actuarial, telecommunications, governmental  and engineering settings.  Many others seek teaching certificates.

As a vital component of the College of Arts & Sciences and the School of Science and Mathematics, the Department of Mathematics strives to meet the needs of its students by:

  1. Effectively advising students and offering courses, to both majors and non-majors, that stimulate their intellectual development.
     
  2. Providing students with a strong background for entering their chosen careers or for post-baccalaureate study in graduate and professional schools.
     
  3. Employing and retaining competent faculty who are dedicated to teaching students while continuing their own professional development and who support and engage in scholarship and creative activities.
