My experience

At Wingate, the chemistry professors do more than simply teach students; they mentor you and invest their time and energy to make your undergraduate experience personal and invaluable. My relationships with my professors allowed me to succeed academically and discover my passion for research. Wingate’s chemistry faculty aid in student learning by always answering questions and encouraging students to think critically. The chemistry research class gives all chemistry students the opportunity to conduct a research project with the guidance of a faculty member. This gives students a glimpse into what being a chemist is really like. In addition to research, my professors supported my educational growth by helping me obtain outside internships and applying to graduate school. Without the chemistry department’s personal attention to each student, I would not be where I am today.”

ABOUT MATHEMATICS

When you major in math at Wingate, you take 32 hours of math courses that cover topics including differential equations, statistics and abstract algebra.

OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

Hands-on education in the field awaits you too. Internships provide you with practical experience while you’re still in college. The Office of Career Services and the American Mathematical Society can point you to internship opportunities in math. Conducting undergraduate research gives you the chance to deeply examine a math-related topic of your choice. Recent students have researched fractals and the expected value of casino roulette. Internships and research can make your graduate school application or résumé stand out.
