Overview
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics subscribes to the University’s vision and mission of producing responsible citizens who bridge faith and scholarship in the service of the Church and society. It aims to prepare and train students to become independent and analytical thinkers with a continuing desire to learn and to use their knowledge to attain social justice and peace, and to preserve a safe and healthy environment for the benefit of all generations of Filipinos.
At present, the Department offers three undergraduate degree programmes: Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with Specialization in Business Applications, Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with Specialization in Computer Applications, and Bachelor of Science in Statistics major in Actuarial Science. In response to the high demand for statistics and data science professionals in the Philippines, a new programme will be offered: the Bachelor of Science in Statistics major in Data Science. Moreover, the Department also offers master’s programmes in Mathematics and Statistics, and doctoral programmes in Mathematics – a regular PhD programme for those who have already completed their master’s degree and a straight PhD programme for those who have no Master’s degree in Mathematics.
