Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

Roger Bacon, philosopher and inventor, once said, "For all things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics." Bacon's quote rings true as mathematics, one of the oldest and most fundamental of sciences, supports understanding and interpreting a variety of things, from simple to complex. One who studies mathematics, especially at Chestnut Hill College, will graduate with the ability to reason logically, to analyze and solve problems, to think abstractly, and to express ideas clearly and precisely--all skills useful for and beyond a mathematics degree.

Along with classroom instruction from highly qualified, experienced professors, students receive a well-rounded liberal arts education that helps them think for themselves and include ethical perspectives in their career decisions. Mathematics students graduate with a deep appreciation for the power and beauty of mathematics and the career possibilities that accompany their degree.
