Mathematics

"In Corban's Math Department, we focus on the question of if mathematics was invented or discovered. At most institutions, you will not hear this discussion. Our program is also small enough so that students get the special attention they need, but big enough to delve into the great depths of mathematics," explained Mike Miller, department chair.

Mathematics Program Overview
Because God created the physical and biological worlds, they exhibit orderliness that can be understood and studied through mathematics. The department views the study of mathematics as a means of understanding God's creation and using those findings in science and technology.
A degree in mathematics serves as preparation for careers in fields such as engineering, statistical research, computer science, and education. Generally students with a mathematics degree will do graduate study in a specialized area before entering a career.

Where we've been, where we're going
"Our program started in the early 1990s with very few students. Presently, there are more than twenty students majoring in mathematics, or mathematics education. High schools have a huge need now for qualified math teachers. Every one of our graduates who has looked for a job in mathematics education has found one."
