Careers involving mathematics enable women to pursue a variety of challenging, rewarding, and lucrative positions at salaries well above those job fields traditionally occupied by women. The mathematicians of today no longer sit behind a desk doing tedious calculations: They may be developing a mathematical model of a biological or chemical system, writing a computer program to control a large industrial process, piecing together animated computer graphics, or teaching a high school algebra class.
We see you among the best and brightest students at Cedar Crest, combining mathematics with a major in another discipline, such as business, education, the sciences, or the arts.
As a math major at Cedar Crest College, you will find a curriculum designed to provide you with a broad-based mathematical foundation, as well as invaluable life skills, such as a greater ability to think analytically and solve problems.
