Students discuss math and the innovative dual degree program offered by Northwestern College
Students majoring in mathematics learn about the quantitative design in God’s creation and develop skills to describe physical and scientific phenomena. The mathematics major has two options: the Applied Program, for preparation to apply mathematics in areas of business, government and science; and the Traditional Program, for preparation for graduate school and mathematics research.
