About our programs

Augsburg University offers both a B.S. and a B.A. in Mathematics, along with majors in Data Science, Mathematical Economics, and Mathematics: Secondary Education.  The Mathematics department is housed within the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, which has a total of thirteen full time faculty.  Our majors, minors, and coursework are grounded in the liberal arts, coupled with applied skills necessary to solve modern problems, and opportunities to experience and develop workforce skills.  The department has a strong commitment to active and inclusive engagement of students and to supporting one another as teacher-scholars.  There are many opportunities to collaborate with faculty across campus on interdisciplinary projects.  

The department is located in Augsburg's newest building, the Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion, which opened in 2018.  Our location in Minneapolis allows for engagement and fruitful collaboration with colleagues at the many colleges and universities in the Twin Cities, as well as local research labs, government organizations, and industry, which includes many Fortune 500 companies. 

Classes throughout the department incorporate active learning, modern computational techniques, and student projects.  Faculty get to know students well with small class sizes.  Outside the classroom, our students regularly engage in research with our faculty and present at regional and national conferences.  See http://www.augsburg.edu/urgo/ for more information about faculty/student research opportunities and programs.  Many of our current majors complete an internship in local industry, government, or non-profit.
