Possessing strong mathematical skills provides an enormous advantage
in today's business environment. The top five careers in the
Jobs Rated Almanac (published by World Almanac) all involve
mathematics, statistics or computer Science. At Maryville University,
our programs in the Mathematical Sciences are career oriented, with the
express purpose of preparing students for satisfying and rewarding
professionals in business and education. Maryville students with an
aptitude for mathematical thinking will learn to engage in rigorous and
creative problem solving across a wide range of disciplines, developing
the skills to enter these top-rated careers.
The major in Mathematical Science serves as the foundation for secondary
teacher preparation in mathematics for which there is a nationwide need.
Mathematic science is an essential component of any liberal arts
education, especially in this age of technology. At Maryville, the study
of mathematics combines both practical and theoretical aspects. Students
who major in mathematical science have a remarkably diverse set of
career opportunities.
Computer training begins in the freshman year and is integrated
throughout the curriculum. Students quickly achieve the necessary skills
to apply technology, both in the classroom and in the workplace.
Over the years, we have established strong ties with the local actuarial
and business community. Some of our classes are taught by
practicing actuaries and computer professionals. Even before graduation,
many students work at businesses, insurance companies and actuarial
consulting firms, either through internships or cooperative education,
thus gaining valuable on-the-job experience. Employers compete to
hire our students, and opportunities abound in the St. Louis area and
elsewhere.
