Testimonials

UNE not only made it easy for me to connect with our [math and physical sciences] faculty to add my second major in Data Science, but tie in my current area of study [in the marine sciences]. A Data Science degree will help me achieve a career that combines my love for marine science and engineering.

I’ve learned so much and used tools that I’ve never used before [as a first-year] in my math classes. I took the usual calculus and stats courses, but also took a Survey of Software Tools class. Our class worked with a lot of different online programs and web tools that were new to me.

I enjoy how there is such an emphasis on teaching and research in my math and science classes. The department is smaller than a larger state school, so you get to know all of [your professors] on a personal level.

Getting to work with real data and help make decisions for the department is real-life problem solving. It’s awesome.

[The small class sizes make it] so I’ve been able to easily connect with professors...and get more in-depth one-on-one time. It makes it easier to go to office hours or get more familiar with the professors.

With the outlook for computer science job growth at a staggering 15%, a rate faster than the average job growth for all occupations, I truly believe UNE’s curriculum for the Computer Science minor will set students with a fantastic foundation for rewarding careers in technology. It did for me!

I have been committed to a career in data science/analysis for a little over a year now and I'm glad I have found a perfect fit for me. My interest skyrocketed after taking the three statistics courses that are required for the math major.

My research would be impossible without a strong background in mathematics.

Regardless of the job market, there will always be a place for researchers who bridge the disciplines of math and biology.

My Mathematics education at UNE offered substantial time for the honing of my mathematical capacity, particularly through the variety of classes and opportunities for collaborative research.

Working in the lab has enabled me to develop significant skills in the field of medicinal chemistry and has enabled me to see real world examples of concepts learned in the classroom.

UNE exceeded my expectations. [The school] offers a series of challenging and exciting courses in all branches of chemistry, taught by a group of dedicated faculty members, and provides a vast array of research opportunities. 

The professors I have had the opportunity to work with and take courses with have been fantastic; they are down to earth, very personable and approachable, and they seem to be willing and available to help any student who needs it. 

One thing I appreciate above all others about UNE is the size and openness of the faculty. Thanks to the small class sizes, it is easy to get to know your professors on a more personal level.

The increasing variety of classes means that I can create my own personalized education experience within the department’s framework. In addition, I receive very generous support from them in terms of funding my research and getting recommendations.

Almost every professor offers some sort of research opportunity. The experience and knowledge you gain by getting into student research is invaluable.

I've come to realize more and more how my math training at UNE is really helping me understand Chemistry better.

A marine scientist with a math background will be set apart from other job applicants and can use their knowledge to create innovative solutions to research problems.
