Pursue Logic at the Center of Power

Studying mathematics in the nation's capital offers distinct advantages.  As a center for government, research, and policy, the federal city provides exceptional access to internships, diverse career paths, and a high concentration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) opportunities.  The region is ranked one of the best for STEM jobs, with many opportunities for math majors in fields such as cryptography, data science, and analytics.

Our location in Washington, D.C. opens doors to premier internships and careers at federal agencies such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).  Students also pursue opportunities with leading research labs, federal contractors and defense partners, as well as non-governmental and nonprofit organizations.  Here, mathematics meets policy, security, science, and innovation.

Beyond professional opportunities, the city itself becomes your classroom.  Museums and monuments, professional sports, world-class theater and festivals, and vibrant neighborhoods filled with parks, restaurants, and shops are all within reach.  Step onto the Washington Metro at Brookland/CUA station and arrive at a game, gallery, or market in minutes.  In Washington, D.C., your education extends well beyond campus.  Before long, the city won't just be where you study—it will feel like home.
