Student Research & Internships

You may choose to do an undergraduate research project as part of your mathematics major, giving you the opportunity to further develop your ability to learn mathematics independently, to make connections between different branches of mathematics, and to work closely with mathematics faculty members.

Research is increasingly valued as our students apply to NSF-funded research programs, graduate programs in mathematics and related fields, and positions in business and industry upon graduation.
