Futures in Mathematics

The future is bright for those who graduate with a degree in mathematics.

Mathematics graduates can pursue diverse career paths, including high-tech industries, many areas of business, the medical sciences, communications, or education.

Here is a sampling of some of the job titles that IWU mathematics graduates have held: Actuary, Archeologist, Attorney, Banker, CEO, CFO, Dentist, Financial Analyst, President, Professor, Research Scientist, Teacher, Web Developer, etc. 

Our students also explore their future career opportunities by completing internships at various places such as Allstate, Amazon.com, and Target. 

Today's computer technology has led to a great demand for people educated in computational mathematics (such as operations research, statistics and numerical analysis) as well as in traditional mathematics.

 Teachers of mathematics are needed at all levels, and Illinois Wesleyan graduates with certification to teach mathematics have enjoyed excellent opportunities in the public schools.
