Mathematics
Available as a major or minor
Mathematicians are the people who figure out if a decision makes sense for a company or organization. They work in a variety of sectors, including energy, transportation and IT. Key career factors for mathematicians are superb work environments, strong incomes and outlooks, and low stress.
When you ask Roanoke math students about their department, you hear words like: unexpected, team, family, community, fun. Math students have competed in COMAP's (Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications) Mathematical Contest in Modeling with impressive results — earning recognition as a top-tier team and beating out competitors from thousands of colleges and universities around the world, including Ivy League schools such as Harvard and Yale.
