What to Expect

As a student in Trevecca’s mathematics program, you’ll be able to tailor your coursework to match your interests and goals. You can choose from two concentrations: pure mathematics or applied mathematics. If you choose the pure mathematics major, all of your coursework comes from the mathematics department. If you choose the applied mathematics major, you’ll be part of an interdisciplinary program that combines a strong foundation of mathematics with courses from our physics, engineering, or chemistry departments.

In both the pure mathematics and applied mathematics programs, you’ll be able to take advantage of our small class sizes and strong mentoring relationships with your professors who will challenge you to apply what you’ve learned in hands-on research. Every student in the mathematics department presents research at Trevecca’s Student Research Symposium as part of our strong commitment to undergraduate research.

You’ll also be encouraged to participate in the math community beyond Trevecca’s campus. Many students participate in math competitions at the national and international levels and have received awards for their undergraduate research. Our majors also apply for internships, conferences, and research projects around the world. Many of them attend the NSF Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and the Joint Mathematics Meeting, the world’s largest annual mathematics conference.
