Mathematics is the universal language shared between people. As a mathematics major at Fresno Pacific University, you’ll engage in a broad spectrum of coursework in the mathematical sciences that will help you solve real-world problems and view math in a way that relates to your world. Whether you’re taking a Problem Solving course and collaborating with classmates to solve real world problems or analyzing the frequencies in the sound waves of your own voice, your work will move beyond the text book. This is the recommended major if you intend to go into secondary teaching, or if you desire to pursue graduate work in postsecondary teaching or mathematics.
