About
Are you interested in a liberal arts degree in mathematics? Do you want to get an edge in tomorrow's job market by developing your quantitative skills?
In high school, mathematics courses usually emphasize computational techniques-factoring polynomials, solving equations, and the like. At the university level, there is a much greater emphasis on ideas, and proof plays a greater role. Calculations still matter but it no longer suffices to "get the right answer" by applying a recipe in mechanical fashion. At heart, mathematics concerns the search for underlying patterns and the precise communication of meaning.
ECU's BA in mathematics is a program with a broad foundation in the liberal arts, with a core in the essential undergraduate level mathematics. The program prepares you for a variety of career options where you can leverage your quantitative skills combined with the best liberal arts background provided at ECU. The program requires four courses in a foreign language of your choice, along with the standard foundation curriculum required of all ECU students.
