Centre's math majors are among the best and brightest students at Centre and in the nation. Recent majors have been awarded Rhodes Scholarships and Fulbright Scholarships for international study. We have majors that have gone on to graduate work in mathematics, mathematical biology, business administration, chemistry, computer science, engineering, materials science, medicine, and physics. The majority of our majors have established rewarding and satisfying careers in fields ranging from finance to teaching, from computer programming to law, from medicine to architecture, from actuarial sciences to government, (and much more; check out: What our math majors have done).

Many of our majors choose to double-major in other areas. Recently, students have completed a double major in math together with such fields as computer science, drama, economics, history, music, physics, and spanish. There is a great deal of flexibility in the scheduling of a math major and it is compatible with essentially every other major program of study at Centre.
