The Mathematics major lies within the Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences at St. John Fisher College. This administrative department and its majors emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, and communication while stressing interdisciplinary learning. 

The Mathematics major aims to:

• Offer all students the opportunity to make contact with classical and modern mathematics.

• Allow students who elect mathematics as a major to prepare adequately for graduate work in mathematics, secondary school certifications, or employment in business or industry.

• Provide background courses in areas of pure and applied mathematics as required by other departments.

The major on Mathematics may lead to either the B.A. or the B.S. degree.
