After Graduation
Graduates- Let us know what you've been
up to!
Career prospects are bright for students with strong training in Mathematics and/or Computer Science.
Thus is especially true for students in
computer science, where graduates find abundant opportunities to work
as professionals in the computing industry and for students who
supplement their mathematics major with concentrated study in allied
disciplines.
Candidates with training in statistics are regarded highly by
prospective employers in manufacturing, business, insurance,
hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and numerous government agencies
including the National Institute of Standards, NASA, Bureau of the
Census and the National Institute of Health. A sampling of
professional opportunities includes statistical quality control,
market research, finance and actuarial science.
As the list of recent graduates shows, students in mathematics
education have been very successful in finding rewarding teaching
positions. Of course, further training is always a possibility. Many
mathematical science students enter graduate school to work toward the
M.A. or Ph.D. degree in mathematics, computer science, statistics or
in any one of the allied fields including economics, physics, biology
and business.
What Alumni say
"The commitment to undergraduate instruction and the
small course size at Ohio Wesleyan makes a big
difference. The courses are more in depth and are
designed with the strengths and interests of each
individual student in mind."
Dan Goldbaum '00
Ph.D. program in Physics at The Ohio State University
"Besides my math major, I got a liberal arts education that prepared
me well for medical school. What I'll remember most about OWU is the
lifelong friendships I formed with peers and faculty."
- Steve Sanderson '89
- Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Cincinnati, '97
Duke University Medical Center Resident
"One of the most noticeable things about the department is its
relatively small size. The benefits that come with this are obvious:
small class sizes and more individual attention. The professors are
very knowledgeable, yet approachable and down-to-earth. They
obviously enjoy teaching and work hard to keep the program challenging
and interesting. Majoring in math required a lot of hard work, but
was a great experience. I graduated with confidence in my training
and looked forward to learning more."
Joni Baker '94
Ph.D. candidate in Mathematics at University of Wisconsin
"The program at OWU gave me an excellent broad preparation for
graduate work at Cornell. Some of my friends who graduated from
larger schools had more advanced courses, but the friendliness of the
department, accessibility of the faculty and the overall academic
environment at OWU more than made up for this. I highly recommend
this program for anyone interested in the mathematical sciences,
whether or not they are thinking of going to graduate school."
Eknath Belbase '92
Ph.D. in Mathematics at Cornell University, '98
Senior analyst with Andrew Davidson & Company
"OWU's Mathematical Sciences faculty challenged and encouraged
me. Thanks to them, my education has proven to be competitive with
that of students from larger and more prominent schools. I am
grateful to them for their efforts as teachers and mentors."
Shriram Krishnamurthi '93
Ph.D. in Computer Science at Rice University, '00
Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Brown University
"The OWU Mathematics and Computer Science Department provides a challenge for
sure, but without intimidation. The professor-student relationship in
the department is among the best on campus."
Hao Jiang '94
Vice President at Credit Swiss First Boston, New York City
"My fondest thoughts about OWU are associated with the faculty and
staff of the MathSci department --- I always found my professors to be
inspiring teachers and good friends. This made for a great academic
and classroom environment in which I found it easy to involve myself.
In short, very strong department, very good curriculum and very good
people. Two thumbs up."
Rajesh Raman '95
Ph.D. program in Computer Science at University of Wisconsin
"I am extremely grateful to the professors of the MathSci department
for teaching me the fundamentals of the subjects, for encouraging me
in my interdisciplinary projects, and most of all, for imparting to me
the ability to think critically in a wide variety of situations."
Ram Samudrala '93
Ph.D. in Computational Biology University of Maryland, '97
National Science Foundation/Burroughs Wellcome Fund Post-Doctoral Fellow
at the Program in Mathematics and Molecular Biology at Stanford University
"The qualities of the department that I appreciate the most, now that
I look back, are the accessibility of the faculty, the close
interaction, the small classes and the opportunities for leadership
and team-work. I remember two experiences the most: one was becoming
involved with the Student Chapter of ACM and the other representing
OWU in local and regional programming contests. These experiences
taught me to be a self-starter, a self-learner and a good team member.
These are qualities that are essential in today's fast-moving software
industry."
Eddy Wong '91
M.S. in Computer Science at Brown University
Director, Open Sesame Computer Software in Cambridge, MA
"The Ohio Wesleyan math program is great. The courses are
challenging, but the faculty are very supportive. I obtained a strong
background in mathematics which I use everyday in my teaching."
