The study of mathematics has always been central to the liberal arts, and mathematics has never been more vital for understanding our world than it is today.  At Colorado College, mathematics courses emphasize both the practical applications of the subject and its inherent beauty.  Majors and minors in mathematics receive a broad perspective on mathematical ideas, working closely with their peers and faculty in small classes.  The department is known for being inclusive and welcoming, and it takes pride in helping each student achieve their  potential. Students in our department participate in many enriching activities, including the Budapest Semester in Mathematics, the Mathematical Contest in Modeling, the Putnam Exam, Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs), and our own blockly pizza problems. 

Faculty in the department maintain active research programs, and students have ample opportunity to work on research projects in diverse areas of pure and applied mathematics and statistics.  Our alumni have gone on to graduate school and academic careers in mathematics and other disciplines, as well as careers in finance, K-12 education, medicine, law, engineering, and information technology.  A degree in mathematics opens many doors, and closes none.
