School of Mathematics and Statistics

At Northwest, we work together to address patterns and problems across a variety of settings while utilizing our state-of-the-art math lab. We explore the beauty and utility of mathematics through the guidance of highly qualified and knowledgeable faculty. We use formal reasoning skills to immerse ourselves in topics like science, engineering and statistics. Begin your journey to a quality education by gaining profession-based learning in your first year.

With additional support Northwest can provide funding for students to attend and present at professional conferences and make available certain manipulatives, software, special books and other material to support the development of our students in the classroom or aid some of our graduates develop their own toolkit – in particular our Math Education graduates as they develop their own classroom into an engaging center for learning.
