Mathematics

Students majoring in mathematics at Rockford University are introduced to the incredibly diverse universe of mathematics, crossing the threshold from the mechanical nature to the theoretical nature that characterizes advanced mathematics. Our students learn to think creatively using inductive logic, to discover patterns using mathematical relationships, and to connect concepts using critical thinking skills. The Program offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Degrees in Mathematics with concentrations in General Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Data Science.

While some courses fulfill a service role for all-university requirements (notably, statistics and other applied areas) and for majors in the sciences and social sciences, a resurgence of majors in mathematics is underway nationally and at Rockford University.
