The Department of Mathematical Sciences is committed to providing a supportive, welcoming environment for students. We realize a positive college experience goes hand in hand with individualized academic advising, which is why each degree concentration in our program has a dedicated advisor. If you are contemplating a career in math, make an appointment today and see for yourself why current students say the department feels like a family. Unsure of which concentration will suit you? Contact Jiguang Sun, interim department chair, for advising.
In addition to assisting students with selecting a major and their courses, as well as addressing other academic concerns, academic advisors are a resource for information about co-ops and internships, academic policies and procedures, and campus resources, including tutoring assistance.
If you have any scheduling issues, please contact Teresa Woods, who is responsible for all scheduling and registration within the department.
