Semesters abroad

You are encouraged to take advantage of the wide range of opportunities Â鶹Çø offers for studying abroad. Many of our math and computer science majors have participated in semester-abroad programs all over the world. In fact, one of the reasons that we have worked to keep the majors flexible is so that you can be off-campus for a semester without the feeling of falling behind in your program.

One program of particular interest to students of mathematics is the . This is an exciting and competitive program that a number of our students have been accepted to. If you are interested, please chat with one of the math faculty.

January Term study abroad courses

In addition to the semester programs, our department has regularly offered January Term off-campus courses.

In fact, a course from our department has run on average once every other year since 2008. Some have followed in the footsteps of Leonhard Euler, considered one of the most prolific mathematicians of all time, through Russia, Germany and Switzerland.

And another through China and Japan examining ancient Chinese mathematics and culture and its influence on Japanese culture and wasan, the traditional mathematics of Japan that flourished during the Edo period.

In 2020, our department offered a course with the physics department to study astronomy and mathematics in Australia. The highlight of this course was to meet and talk with Dr. Brian Schmidt, the Vice Chancellor of the Australian National University, and a 2011 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics. (He also happens to be a high school friend of Professor Chuck Dunn.)

Each of these courses has counted toward the major and minor in mathematics.
