  • 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
