The Department of Mathematical and Engineering Sciences at Bethel University is a community of Christian scholars and educators committed to preparing minds for action within the Kingdom of God (1 Peter 1:13).

Department Mission

As a reflection of the Author of Creation, our universe teems with order. Science is the study of that created order and mathematics is the language humanity uses to facilitate that study. Moreover, through engineering our understanding is made practical as we exercise our stewardship of the physical world in which we live (Gen 1:28). Thus, the mission of the Department of Mathematical and Engineering Sciences is to equip students at every level to use quantitative reasoning and critical thinking as tools for deeper understanding of the physical world and in their own discipline. To this end, the department seeks to instill an essential balance of logical reasoning, conceptual understanding, technological proficiency, and computational skill appropriate to students' diverse needs.

The department offers programs in a variety of mathematical and related sciences, including minors in computer science and physics. For students interested in actuarial science and/or data analysis, we recommend the mathematics major with a minor or second major in economics. For students interested in engineering, note that the Math/Physics degree is part of a cooperative 3-2 Engineering program offered in coordination with the University of Notre Dame and Trine University.
