With one of the largest departments on campus, we have faculty experts in virtually every area of mathematics -- all ready to work with you one-on-one to see you succeed.

Mathematics is a practical and fascinating field, but it's also highly lucrative. Our graduates earn some of the highest starting salaries of any majors on campus, thanks to the versatility and logical rigor required to succeed as a mathematics major. Our grads have many exciting career options, including actuarial science, working in government research facilities, pharmaceutical companies, and leading tech companies. 

If you love the life sciences, you'll want to explore one of our newest majors: biomathematics. This major gives you the mathematical and computational knowledge you'll need to address some of the world's most puzzling biological and health problems. Biomathematics majors have gone on to veterinarian programs and other exciting careers. You may also want to consider a second major in computational science. 

We also participate in various mathematics competitions, host one of the longest-running conferences focused exclusively on undergraduate mathematics (click here for its history), and we publish the country's oldest academic journal dedicated exclusively to undergraduate mathematics research. 

As an engineering college, Rose is the best place to study mathematics. For more than 100 years we have been hardwired to do high-level mathematics, an essential part of engineering and science. 

We have the number of faculty (25+) and offer a wide variety of upper-level courses (60+) you'd find at a large institution combined with the individual attention and support that is a hallmark of Rose. 

Our professors will work closely with you to make the complexities of mathematics understandable. In fact, when the Princeton Review named six Rose-Hulman professors among the nation’s Best Professors, three of them were mathematics instructors.
