Mathematics: A Major that Opens
Doors
An Invitation from the Department Head
Mathematics is a perfect choice for your major
as you plan a career in business, industry, or
prepare for graduate school. You’ll find that in
the Department of Mathematics there will be
many opportunities for you to become a part of
our mathematical community, whether you
decide to tutor in our tutoring center, join the
math modeling team, or participate in the
undergraduate research symposium.
For information and resources about
mathematics and careers, visit the homepage of
the Mathematical Association of America
(www.maa.org)
We hope you will consider a mathematics major
at EMU!
