Responsibilities include teaching introductory and advanced undergraduate mathematics courses with flexibility in course assignments, fostering career development in students, and generally supporting community within the department. A successful candidate must articulate a protestant Christian worldview in one's teaching and academic discipline.

The MCS Department has close to 80 students majoring in one of its programs and fits in Belhaven’s Division of Science & Mathematics, the largest academic group on campus. There is generous support from the university’s administration and a healthy community of colleagues within the STEM disciplines. Belhaven’s Division of Science & Mathematics also boasts a large proportion of female students as well as minority and first-generation college students. We are members of the Mathematical Association of America and encourage students to engage in professional development such as applying for internships, attending conferences, interacting with professionals, and taking site visits. 

The MCS Department offers both BS and BA degrees in mathematics, a BS in actuarial sciences, a BS in computer science, and a BS in computer information systems. In addition to these degrees, we offer a double major in mathematics and engineering with partnerships with the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University. In this program, students receive a mathematics degree from Belhaven and an engineering degree of their chosen partner institution over a five-year period. 

Belhaven’s MCS Department is also a chief sponsor of Belhaven’s Maker Campus, a collection of maker labs throughout Belhaven’s campus featuring 3D printing, small electronics projects, CNC and laser-engraving machining, coding, and other formative technologies in collaboration with the Department of Art and Design.
