  • The PLU Department of Mathematics offers a broad choice of educational and career goals. We offer three degree options: a BA and BS in Mathematics and a BS in Mathematics Education.

    mathematical modeling, as a tool to solve a variety of real-life interdisciplinary problems. This program builds upon the existing mathematics courses, incorporates interdisciplinary studies, and adds a permanent mathematical modeling course. Graduates will gain an understanding of applied mathematics and statistics, making them well equipped as they seek employment or pursue graduate programs. This degree pairs well with other Natural Sciences majors such as computer science, physics, and chemistry, as

  • TACOMA, WASH. (March 9, 2016)- Mosquitoes are pests to some, but for Rebekah Blakney ’12 they carry a wealth of information that can unlock solutions to global health issues. Now with the outbreak of the Zika virus, that’s as important as ever.  Blakney isn’t at…

    athlete who studied chemistry and biology at PLU. She eventually went on to earn a master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin. It was abroad that Blakney learned about the problems facing developing nations. She saw Panamanians with parasitic infections, primarily a result of poor water quality and sanitation. She saw how simple yet inaccessible preventive treatment was for the locals and decided she wanted to dedicate her life’s work to similar issues. Blakney’s recent field of study is new

  • Throw a dart at a world map, and it’s likely to hit a location where Pacific Lutheran University students or faculty members have conducted research.

  • TACOMA, WASH. (August 24, 2015)- This week, PLU introduced “Open to Interpretation,” a new podcast devoted to exploring the meanings and implications of words commonly used in the news, on social media and on college campuses. Hosted by Associate Professor of Communication Amy Young, each…

    relatively equally, to be heard and to hear from others. If you don’t have visual cues, you really don’t want a cast of thousands—it’s messy, it’s overly complex and it’s too hard to follow. And, I think you can be strategic with two to four people in terms of finding a few people who have a kind of beautiful, easy chemistry. Managing personalities is integral, I think, to this kind of podcast format. Read Previous Open to Interpretation: Advocacy (Episode 1) Read Next PLU Hosts Rwanda’s Best Young

  • A happy accident landed Sandra Estrada ’20 in her “Global Human Rights” course. It resulted in research on child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, which she presented at an academic symposium at

    , she struggled to find a landing spot. She quickly learned that her next choice, chemistry, wasn’t in the cards either. Then, with the help of Hames’ class, she discovered the depth and breadth of global studies. Public health quickly rose to the top of her interests within the field. She plans to continue exploring that topic on a global scale through study away. She’s considering enrolling in the semester Gateway program in Oaxaca, Mexico. “This definitely catapulted my interest into doing
