Mathematics
Mathematics majors are highly valued for their analytical thinking and problem solving abilities. Alverno's mathematics faculty are dedicated to helping you make clear connections between mathematics theory and real world applications. Class sizes and pedagogical design allow for continuous student-faculty interaction, making Alverno an ideal place to study mathematics.
In class, you'll work together with other students to apply mathematics to real situations in active, hands-on learning experiences. You will regularly use computers and calculators to explore mathematical ideas and solve problems. In all your math classes, Alverno's ability-based curriculum pushes you to integrate your expertise in mathematics with the abilities you'll need after college - analytical thinking, problem solving and communication.
Internships with real-life experience
An internship in an area business or lab offers you the chance
to test your knowledge against the demands of the workplace, earning
you credit while you explore a mathematics-related career. Every mathematics major takes at least one internship; some take two. Students have interned at many companies including Northwestern Mutual, Milwaukee Brewers, Harley-Davidson, AT&T and the Medical College of Wisconsin.
A wide range of minors helps tailor your mathematics
studies to your special interest areas. Popular support areas for mathematics
majors include computing and information technology, business and management, secondary education, psychology and social science.
