We Do Well in Preparing Our 学生 for Graduate School

  • In recent years about 60% of our math majors go on to PhD programs, surely the highest of any college or university in the nation.
  • Almost all of these 学生 received full tuition scholarships and received additional financial support through research and/or teaching fellowships.
  • 在过去的五年里, our graduating seniors have been accepted to graduate schools in mathematics, 应用数学, 计算机科学, 物理, 普林斯顿大学经济学教授, 麻省理工学院, 哈佛大学, 哥伦比亚, 斯坦福大学, 芝加哥, 康奈尔大学, 约翰霍普金斯大学, 加州大学伯克利分校, 加州大学洛杉矶分校, 威斯康辛州, U. 宾夕法尼亚大学，布朗大学，加州理工学院，仅举几例.
  • One reason for our success is that we give every math major a research experience.

We Also Do Well Placing Our 学生 in Nonacademic Jobs

  • Recent math majors have gone on to jobs at Google, 咨询, 金融, 软件工程, 高中教学, 保险精算学, 政策分析, 还有很多其他有趣的职业.

Our 学生 and Graduates Do Well in Fellowship Competitions

  • In 2021, three math seniors were awarded NSF fellowships for graduate study. We have had as many as five math seniors win NSF fellowships in one year!
  • Our math majors have won Watson Fellowships for travel and study abroad after graduation.
  • One year we had both a Rhodes Scholar and a Churchill Scholar among our senior majors!

We Give Our 学生 Real 研究 Experiences

  • Every math major has a research experience before they graduate, in the form of a Senior 论文 (research in a 教师 member’s area) or a 诊所 (industry-sponsored project).
  • 教师 often jointly author papers with 学生 (more than 20 papers in the last three years).
  • Many of our 学生 also independently author papers.
  • 数学专业, 约书亚格林, won the AMS-MAA-SIAM Morgan Prize (given to one undergraduate in the nation for outstanding research). Another Mudd math major, Aaron Archer won an Honorable Mention in this competition.

Our 学生 Have Fun with (and Do Well in) Mathematical Competitions!

  • In the Putnam Mathematical Competition, our HMC team has placed as high as third nationwide!
  • HMC is the only undergraduate college in the last 30 years to have placed in the Putnam Top 5 schools (and we’ve done it twice).
  • Harvey Mudd College often outperforms nearly all other schools in participation and numbers of Top-100 finishers on the Putnam by percentage.

数学竞赛更有趣!

  • HMC leads all other colleges and universities in the number of ICM and MCM (Interdisciplinary and Mathematical Competition in Modeling) Outstanding awards won. Each year the MCM awards Outstanding to the top 10–12 papers from over 600 entries. As many as three HMC teams have won this highest honor at the same time!
  • HMC teams have also won special recognition from SIAM and INFORMS for their solutions.
  • A team of three HMC math and math/CS majors won the International ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) 程序ming contest, 在全球1000多所学校名列前茅, the first undergraduate institution ever to win in the competition’s 50-year history.

Our 教师 Are Outstanding, Are Dedicated to Our 学生
