Math at IWU

The mathematics students at Illinois Wesleyan University develop critical-thinking and analytical skills, enabling them to tackle some of the toughest real-world problems. In our program, you will learn to effectively communicate ideas in both written and verbal form. Major employers say the primary qualities they seek are strong communication skills and an ability to work in teams. Our close-knit mathematics community of students and professors encourages you to develop those skills in a positive learning environment. The math program works well with other departments and programs on campus, such as teacher certification and 3-2 dual-degree pre-engineering.
