"I chose Eastern IL University because of the close-knit community, affordability, and the ability to have a high-quality education for Physics and Mathematics majors. As a smaller university EIU provides the ability to learn tough subjects such as Physics and Mathematics in a smaller class setting which allows students to engage with the professors one-on-one and seek more help from professors at a greater degree on top of the free and useful academic help center and writing center. On top of this, professors really do want to see you succeed and reach for the sky which is very beneficial as well."Brandon SeitzClass of 2029, Physics and Mathematics major
The Mathematics B.A. develops strong skills in logical reasoning, quantitative analysis and problem-solving.
