Mathematics
At Wartburg, a degree in mathematics is more than solving equations, it’s unlocking new ways to think, reason, and problem-solve. You’ll sharpen your logical and analytical skills, explore the beauty of patterns and structures, and discover how math connects to fields like computer science, physics, engineering, and the natural sciences. With small classes and supportive professors, you’ll gain the confidence and creativity to tackle real-world challenges, from data science to finance to research. Whether you want to design algorithms, model how the world works, or simply love the thrill of solving tough problems, math can take you anywhere.
Your course work will be supplemented with laboratory activities, practical internships, and opportunities for teaching and leadership. Courses emphasize in-depth group activities, enabling you to tackle challenging projects while developing your interpersonal communication skills. These experiences will provide a solid foundation for future employment or graduate study.
We also encourage undergraduate research and design projects utilizing innovative technology like virtual reality displays and 3-D visualization software.
Program Information
“My classes at Wartburg always encourage group projects but seeing it in the workplace was really cool. There were times where I thought, maybe I wasn’t smart enough to be there, but it was important to remember they chose me to be a part of this program for a reason. They wanted to see me succeed.”
