Coursework in mathematics is a key area of study at the college. Required and elective mathematics courses are prominent in every NYIT curriculum. For science and technology majors, mathematics essentially represents a "second language" without which comprehension of the laws of science would be impossible. The curriculum provides a meaningful sequence of courses to help technically oriented students grasp the quantitative elements of physics, life sciences and electrical, computer, mechanical, architectural and aerospace technology.

The department, in conjunction with the School of Education and Professional Services, also offers a program of study leading to a Bachelor of Science degree to prepare students for teacher certification in secondary school mathematics education. Government statistics indicate a strong increase in opportunities for math teachers in the coming decade, particularly in geographic regions of heavy population growth. Your NYIT degree will prepare you for state licensure and employment in middle and high schools throughout New York and several other states. You will also be prepared for graduate study in education, mathematics and several technology fields.
