About the department

K-State's math department offers a PhD, Masters, concurrent BS/MS degree and a graduate certificate in Applied Mathematics, Bachelors, and dual degrees in engineering, business, and agriculture, and double majors in the sciences, humanities and arts.

We also have a minor program that is just a few additional courses for most STEM fields.

K-State's math department offers quantitative and problem-solving skills for use in math careers or other fields. Math graduates are sought for their specialized knowledge and ability to reason, think analytically, and solve problems.

The mathematics bachelor degrees offer four concentration areas for students to tailor an undergraduate degree to fit their interests. Choose from applied mathematics, actuarial mathematics, mathematics pre-graduate, and mathematics teacher preparation. The department has competitive Noyce Scholarships for STEM field students who wish to complete a dual in the College of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences in Mathematics.

K-State's Mathematical Scholars Program can be used toward quantitative requirements of the K-State Honors program and, upon successful completion, will result in a "Bachelor's Degree with Departmental Honors in Mathematics." There is a scholarship associated with successful completion of the 2nd year of our Scholars program.

We offer success support of over 20 help hours available in the Fall and Spring, graduate mentors through our directed reading program, and faculty mentors in ten different research groups with many of our instructors winning teaching awards
