Mission Statement and Purposes

The mission of the Department of Mathematics and Physical Sciences at Rogers State University is to support students in their pursuit of knowledge in mathematics and physical science. Our purposes are:

1. To increase the student’s critical thinking and reasoning abilities.
2. To increase the student’s understanding and appreciation of the physical world, and the ability to apply this understanding in his/her personal and professional life.
3. To increase the student’s awareness of the benefits of incorporation of technology into Science and Math studies.
4. To increase the student’s ability to interpret and under- stand his/her world mathematically.
5. To prepare a student to matriculate into a four-year degree program in math or science-related fields or graduate.
6. To serve as a resource for the community, utilizing the expertise of the faculty.

Programs

Students who successfully complete an approved program with major emphasis in engineering/physics/math or the sciences are awarded the Associate in Science degree.

These degree programs are designed as an integral part of the four-year programs if students ultimately pursue a baccalaureate degree.

A minor requires completion of at least 18-24 designated credit hours of coursework outside the student’s major field, including a minimum of 9 upper-division credit hours, and may have a required core. The same courses may not be used to fulfill the requirements for both a major and a minor. To complete a minor, a student is required to earn six 3000-4000 level credit hours in that minor at RSU.
