Welcome to Christ’s University in Pacific, (CUP), Department of Mathematical Science!  To prepare you for a successful and fulfilling career, we offer and coordinate all the requirements for study undergraduate program in Mathematical Science. We look forward to assisting you and providing many opportunities to enhance your future career. As a Mathematics student you are advised to use this handbook, along with other important information sources, for guidance in the undergraduate mathematics program.  Official information sources include the Undergraduate Handbook, Student Manual, Class Schedule, and department academic advisors.  Regularly meeting with an academic advisor is a good way to stay informed.

The purpose of the mathematics major is to provide students with the opportunity to develop their analytical thinking, quantitative reasoning, problem-solving, and communication skills that will prepare them to succeed in either graduate school or in a variety of careers in business, industry, government, or teaching. Concurrently, the mathematics education major will help students recognize mathematics as the language God used in establishing the physical laws of the universe.

Learning Outcomes: Graduates of the mathematics program will be able to;

• explain key concepts in the major areas of undergraduate mathematical science,
• apply established methods of problem solving in the major areas of undergraduate mathematical science,
• apply abstract reasoning to mathematical systems, and
• communicate the nature of mathematical science as the language of science and as a means of representing the natural laws that God established in Creation.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

Our criminal justice philosophy is providing students with skills and knowledge that identify what they need and helping them to promote, utilize, and implement those skills in all their future endeavors for securities and happiness.

The crucial philosophy of the criminal justice programme is based on the principle that the qualification should provide an intellectual and practical framework through which criminal justice administration professionals can develop the necessary abilities to solve crimes and to research and critically evaluate a range of concepts pertinent to their own areas within the field of crime prevention and management.

Criminal justice administrators shape and steer a firm's strategic plans based on a complex analysis of their environment. This analysis includes considering the socio-political and economic climate of the areas in which the agency is located. These administrators must have an understanding of the community, the population, and the crime rates of the area. Criminal justice certificate, diploma, and degree programs prepare you for this career not only by providing training in hard skills such Organization and Management of Criminal Justice and Rules of Evidence, but also by exposing you to actual cases, effective communication and the legal and ethical issues pertaining to conducting criminal justice.
