Since
the Creator of the universe is a God of
orderliness, a great way to study the
process of Creation (as well as other
attributes of God) is through the
principles of Mathematics.
Students are exposed to a subject
greatly used in our society.
Students will learn how to think
creatively and analytically. These
skills will help them in their decision
making process.
Students
are required to complete three (3)
credits of Mathematics for graduation.
