Department of Mathematics

At Seattle University, Mathematics majors learn to communicate precisely and logically, to discover patterns in various areas of mathematics, and to apply this knowledge within and outside mathematics. Our students enjoy small class sizes, personalized attention and interaction with faculty, and the use of technology in the classroom. In addition, there are opportunities for undergraduate research.

A mathematics degree opens up a variety of careers such as actuarial work, telecommunications, retirement planning, software engineering, methods analysis, and investment brokering. Our recent graduates are currently pursuing doctoral degrees, careers in secondary education, and positions in industry.

We are proud to number among our majors recipients of the prestigious Goldwater Scholarship, National Security Agency Internship, and NASA Summer Internship.
