A major in mathematics at Kentucky
Wesleyan is designed to enable students to succeed by giving
them the ability to utilize mathematics in a career or
another discipline or to pursue graduate studies.
We intend that our graduates will be able to:
·
calculate correctly;
·
prove or explain as appropriate;
·
relate different areas of mathematics;
·
apply mathematics to other disciplines.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in
