Mathematics is a vital function in everything from aviation to medicine and finance to computer science. Marshall University’s B.S. in Mathematics program provides a broad scope of disciplines and opportunities to apply them to real-world challenges.

As a basis for other sciences as well as business, engineering, education, and forecasting and analytics, a degree in mathematics can prepare you for a vast array of career options. We strive to offer opportunities to stretch yourselves in applied mathematics and statistics, exploring new mathematics areas and having opportunities to present your research nationally or internationally. Our students also apply their knowledge to community-based projects here in the Huntington, West Virginia, region.

Our Mathematics Department takes pride in our highly credentialed and dedicated faculty, with a majority holding terminal degrees in their research specialties. Our faculty know the excitement of mathematics and statistical challenges and provide students with opportunities to seek grant opportunities for research projects and travel to showcase their findings at mathematics-related conferences, where they network with experts and peers in the field. Our faculty also give you personalized attention to tailor your academic schedules to your interests and help you seek chances to have your research published.

Marshall is also home to one of the nation’s only publicly accessible Differential Analyzer Laboratories. A differential analyzer, used extensively in the early 20th Century, before digital computers were able to solve differential equations, is a mechanical device that solves the equations by simulating them on physical components.
