Saint Louis University

Saint Louis University’s mathematics program combines the features of both small and large schools to create a compelling educational experience.

Students can expect a student-friendly environment, with math courses for majors being small in size and taught by regular faculty. Faculty get to know students and provide individual attention. Students are recruited for participation in math contests and other opportunities, including part-time positions as graders, tutors and learning assistants. Like a large school’s program, math at SLU also has enough breadth to let students tailor their upper-division math courses to their interests and goals.

Program highlights include:

• Students interested in pure mathematics can choose theoretical courses that provide a solid preparation for graduate school. Since SLU has a graduate program in mathematics, exceptional undergraduate students have the opportunity to take graduate courses in mathematics.
• Students interested in applied mathematics (or science and engineering students interested in a second major in mathematics) can focus on a wide selection of applied courses. 
• Students interested in statistics can select a variety of courses in statistics and probability theory.
• Students interested in secondary school teaching can select courses that fill the requirements of the major and of a teaching certificate at the same time.
