With programs in Actuarial Science, Foundational Mathematics, Mathematics, Sports Analytics, and Statistics and Data Analytics, the Department of Mathematical Sciences prepares students to pursue some of the top careers of today.
Our programs provide a strong academic aptitude that is founded on faith. Collectively, our programs do this in at least two different ways:
By glorifying God through the study of the beauty of the mathematical sciences.
And by cultivating Christ-like compassion that serves and loves others via problem solving that is relevant to an ever-changing global landscape.
The Actuarial Science degree program is designed for students who wish to pursue a career as an actuary or in other areas of industry dealing with risk management. With margins thinner, actuarial accuracy is more necessary than ever to the global economy. This program is designed to prepare students to take the first two actuarial exams. Also, the Society of Actuaries (SOA) has approved CBU for Validation by Educational Experience (VEE) in areas of Mathematical Statistics, Economics, and Accounting and Finance.
We offer a Bachelor of Arts in Statistics and Data Analytics as well as a Bachelor of Science in Sports Analytics. These majors prepare students to work in one of the hottest sectors with the latest technology collecting, displaying, analyzing and mining data. Students will work side-by-side with full-time professors with real world experience. Using state-of- the-art computers and software, students will analyze local and global life-changing issues and apply their results to save lives and help people.
Our Mathematics major prepares students for careers in teaching at the secondary level, research, industry, business and graduate study. With a major in math, students will learn skills that will enable them to serve God and our society. Our Mathematics students want to develop their mathematical abilities with depth and excellence, and we are here to help them do just that. We are concerned with more than just providing the required coursework to be a skilled mathematician; we also care about our students and want to help them prepare for the career that is right for them.
Kappa Mu Epsilon is a specialized honor society in mathematics founded to promote the interest of mathematics among undergraduate students and recognition of outstanding achievement in the study of mathematics at the undergraduate level. Membership is open to students who have completed at least three college mathematics courses (including at least one semester of calculus) with an overall grade point average of 3.00 or better. Members must be at least a second-semester sophomore and rank in the top 35% of their class. For more information, contact Dr. Jim Buchholz, Faculty Advisor.
