RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Research Opportunities
The is a research program for students interested in conducting research in mathematics and/or statistics (broadly defined) at ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ University. Each semester, we post available research projects, and students may apply for the positions. The program is open to all ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ students and is most beneficial for those seeking careers in mathematics—in academia, industry and government. Current students can find out more about math and stats research at ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ on .
We also encourage our students to apply to the opportunities available through the Center for Research and Fellowship, including the Undergraduate Research Fellowship program and Match Research Program for First Year Students.
DataFest Philly
is part of the national American Statistical Association DataFest—a 48-hour case competition where teams of two to five students receive a rich, complex dataset from a large company and analyze it for insights. Hosted by ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ University and organized by the University's Center for Statistics Education since 2017, the program is open to undergraduate students from institutions across the Greater Philadelphia area. This program takes data analysis beyond the constraints of a typical classroom setting by enabling students to work with real-world data as a team—uniting students in statistics, computer science, engineering, mathematics, social science and other fields for an intense weekend of data wrangling and analysis. Participants have the opportunity to network with industry experts and meet potential employers.
The Math Center in The Learners’ Studio
The Math Center provides free tutoring in nearly all ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ Math and Statistics courses. From quick homework clarification questions to prep for final exams and anything in between, we can help. If you need a refresher on high school level math topics, we can lend a helping hand with that as well. Book a 1:1 session or just walk in any time for drop-in help—no appointment necessary.
Honors Society
Pi Mu Epsilon is a national honorary mathematics society with chapters at academic institutions across the country, including ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥. Each chapter is designated by the state in which it is located and by a Greek letter assigned chronologically. Thus, ours is the Pennsylvania Iota Chapter. Chapters elect members based on proficiency in mathematics, the minimum requirements being the completion of two years of college level mathematics courses with honorable grades and a ranking in the top one-third of one's class in overall college work.
Student Organizations
The at ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ is a chapter of the national nonprofit. At ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥, we seek to promote and help our female students majoring in Math or related majors, but we are open to Math and related students of either gender!
The is an organization dedicated to promoting mathematical knowledge and study and is not limited to math majors. Anyone interested in math is welcome to join.
College and University Resources
In addition to resources and opportunities through the English Department, ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ provides support to undergraduate students in all aspects of their collegiate experience and beyond through the centralized services of the Office for Undergraduate Students, Office of Education Abroad and Career Center.
