Mathematics

The primary objective of the Mathematics program is to provide an appropriate mathematical background to all University students, focusing on the ability to think critically and solve problems through oral and written communication, in order to foster quantitative literacy.

In addition, the Mathematics program is designed to:

  • Provide Mathematics majors with the basic undergraduate mathematical knowledge necessary for graduate studies, a teaching career, or a variety of statistical or business careers.
  • Provide Science and professional majors with the mathematical and statistical background for their fields and highlight the wide applicability of mathematics.
  • Provide Business majors with a foundation in finite mathematics, statistics, and calculus and demonstrate the relevance of mathematics to increasing complexities of the business world.
  • Provide Liberal Arts majors with an introduction to mathematical ideas and promote an appreciation and understanding of the important role of mathematics within the broader curriculum.

The strengths of the department include small class sizes in developmental and major courses, emphasis on student/faculty interaction, and classroom and online instruction utilizing relevant software and technology.

Sacred Heart University is an institutional member of the Mathematical Association of America as well as the American Mathematical Society.
