Mathematics is a subject of great intrinsic power and beauty. It is the universal language of science, and is essential for a clear and complete understanding of virtually all phenomena. Mathematical training prepares a student to express and analyze problems and relationships in a logical manner in a wide variety of disciplines, including the physical, engineering, social, biological, and medical sciences, business, and pure mathematics itself. This is a principal reason for the perpetual need and demand for mathematicians in education, research centers, government, and industry.
The Mathematics Department at Lehigh offers undergraduate degrees in mathematics and statistics. We offer undergraduate minors in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, probability and statistics and actuarial science. Graduate programs include a PhD in mathematics and MS degrees in applied mathematics, mathematics, and statistics. We also participate in the MS degree in financial engineering.
