Welcome to the Department of
Mathematics and Statistics
at Ohio Northern
University |
| We
offer majors in mathematics and
mathematics/statistics, as
well as minors in mathematics, applied mathematics and applied
statistics. Our majors may choose a general education program
leading
to either the B.A. degree or the B.S.
degree. The Mathematics and Statistics Department cooperates with the
Center for
Teacher Education in program planning for licensure for those desiring
to teach at the secondary school level. Our secondary education program
in mathematics is nationally accredited by the NCTM. Some of our students
choose to
continue their
education in graduate school. In the
last seven years, our students
gave 52 presentations
at regional
or national mathematics meetings and
co-authored six mathematics or statistics related publications.
Among
the graduate schools which
accepted
our students we can include Ohio State University, Purdue University,
University of Florida and the University of North Carolina. Also, a wide range of
opportunities in
academia and beyond are available for the students completing
our mathematics/statistics track. |
