According to Jobs Rated Almanac, the five best jobs
in the country all involve training in the mathematical sciences,
including the number one job: actuary. At Dakota Wesleyan University,
our mathematics faculty provide students with the education necessary
to take advantage of the many opportunities available to them.
Recent Wesleyan mathematics graduates include:
-
Teachers throughout South Dakota and across the
country
-
A Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University
of Indiana
-
A computer programmer for the State of South Dakota
-
A former basketball standout currently employed
as a Risk Manager and pursuing an actuarial career
-
Business owners and managers
-
Students who have pursued advanced degrees in engineering,
medicine, psychology, and other fields
In this increasingly technological and rapidly changing world, the
demand for people with the knowledge and skills provided by a mathematical
education will continue to multiply.
"Contrary to many students' views of mathematics
as being too specialized for the workplace, students who have majored
in mathematics are engaged in a wide variety of jobs with diverse
work activities at different types of institutions."

Sciences, 2000
