Mathematics department offerings are designed primarily for students who will use mathematics in such activities as: applied work in industry or government; research in mathematics, statistics, or one of the other mathematical sciences; teaching; or applying mathematics in the physical, computing, or social sciences. In addition, the department offers general education courses for those students who desire an understanding of the nature and role of mathematics in modern society.

Transfer, Dual Enrollment, Study Abroad Credit

Courses taken at other institutions will be awarded credit in mathematics if they meet one of the following criteria:

1) the course is similar in content and rigor to an existing course in the Mathematics department (and there are legitimate reasons why the student is not able to take the class at the College)
2) the course covers some important topic of mathematics not offered at Kalamazoo College. Students are responsible for meeting with the department chair in advance to determine whether a course offered elsewhere will transfer back as a mathematics credit.
