About the Program

The mathematics program is part of Park University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The study of mathematics prepares students for graduate studies in mathematics, work in related sciences, beginning actuarial work, economics, business, and teaching at the secondary level.

The Mathematical Association of America lists several careers in mathematics and Duke University provides a list of reasons to major in mathematics.
