program overview

cultivate future generations’ minds with strong values

the mathematics department at 世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 prepares you to be an excellent teacher who is both mathematically sound and pedagogically proficient. we work closely with lipscomb’s nationally ranked college of education to ensure you are trained and up-to-date in the latest educational standards and trends. 

we make sure that you learn the in's and out's of the mathematics involved and not just the procedure; this way you will know how to answer future questions students may have, such as “why do we need to know this math?” courses include a variety of topics from history of mathematics to cultural perspectives and calculus. there are also extra hours of foreign language required to make a b.a. for a highly marketable degree, due to the diversity of davidson county and the surrounding areas. our students are getting job offers before finishing the program because of its comprehensive curriculum.

faculty in the math department care about their students; our students are family to us. we try our best to make every student feel at home in our department: a home away from home. this is reinforced with teaching in a christ-centered environment; the world needs more christ-centered teachers, especially in this culture.
