Departmental Missions

The mission of the Graduate Math Program at TAMU-CC is to increase understanding and the ability to apply mathematics through in-depth study, novel applications, and research. The areas of emphasis are mathematics education and applications of mathematics and statistics to environmental and gulf coast studies. The faculty engages in research and scholarly activities in these areas of emphasis and leads students through program research activities and projects or theses. The program prepares students for careers in education, science, and industry and serves the community by providing expertise to local schools, coastal industry, and research centers.

The mission of the Mathematics Program at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is to increase the knowledge and use of mathematics by persons both at the University and in the surrounding area. We strive to educate students at the University so that they are prepared to use mathematics intelligently in their chosen fields of study and to understand mathematics as it affects their lives and participation in public affairs. In addition, the Mathematics Program provides its majors and graduate students with preparation for careers in education, science, and commerce, as well as providing a solid foundation for further study in mathematics. In support of the graduate program, the mathematics faculty pursues scholarship in mathematics, applications of mathematics, and instruction in mathematics. Finally, the Mathematics Program serves the community by providing its expertise to local schools, industry, and businesses.

Upon completion of their bachelor’s degree, Mathematics majors will be able to:

• Demonstrate a command of principles of general mathematics at the undergraduate

level.

• Recognize mathematics outside the realm of the classroom, and apply undergraduate

level mathematical content as a matter of professional practice.

• Communicate mathematics effectively at the undergraduate level, in oral and written

form, with appropriate use of technology.
