On behalf of our faculty, staff, and students, welcome to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Catholic University of America.

Mathematics is essential to many different fields, including physics, chemistry, engineering, business, finance, and even to law and medicine. Most importantly, it plays a central role in developing our abilities to think logically and abstractly and by improving our skills at quantitative reasoning and critical thinking. Learning mathematics benefits all aspects of our lives and is becoming more crucial in our technologically advancing society.

The Department has an active group of 9 full-time faculty members engaged in several areas of research including algebra, analysis, graph theory, differential equations, and statistics.

You are invited to explore the manifold opportunities of having a degree in mathematics from Catholic University. We offer courses leading to a BA or BS in Mathematics, BS Mathematical Finance, BS in Mathematics and Physics, MS in Mathematics, and 4+1 BA/MS or BS/MS in Mathematics. We also offer a minor in Mathematics, minor in Actuarial Sciences, minor in Statistics, and a minor in Mathematical Finance.

Our goal is to challenge and motivate our students, ensuring they are well-prepared upon graduation for federal and industry jobs, teaching careers, and graduate-level work in mathematics and related areas. We achieve this through small class sizes, which allow for individualized attention, and by fostering personal relationships with our students. Our hands-on approach to advising and monitoring student progress helps many of our majors complete a second major or obtain a minor in fields such as actuarial science, statistics, computer science, finance, music, and communication. We encourage undergraduate research, and our majors have given presentations at undergraduate conferences, undergraduate and graduate seminars, and at our Catholic University's annual Research Day. Our graduates have pursued careers in teaching, industry, federal government, law enforcement, actuary, law, medicine, accounting, finance, non-profit organizations, banking, and investment.
