Message from the Chairman

Thank you for your interest in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at St. John’s University.

Consider this your gateway to an exciting future. Mathematics touches every aspect of our lives — business, education, engineering, the environment, politics and the sciences. A mathematics degree from St. John’s will give you the knowledge and skills for a growing number of careers in today’s demanding workplace.

Of course, math offers you much more than rewarding career possibilities. Our department is part of St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences — the University’s oldest division. This is where students gain the broad knowledge and skills expected of all educated professionals. Math plays a vital role in every discipline, including music (timing, rhythm), art (perspective, dimension) and English literature (patterns of rhyme). In a sense, everyone is a mathematician.

We invite you to learn more about the advantages of pursuing your degree in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at St. John’s. Please let us know if we can assist you in any way. With all good wishes for your success,
