Mathematics programNHTI's Mathematics degree program offers you a rigorous and cost-effective education with small class sizes to form long-lasting connections with peers and professors. You'll gain hands-on experience as a tutor of math and physics in ACE, by competing with our Math Team, and through investigations in our well-equipped physics lab. In your final semester, you'll investigate a topic of your interest in math in collaboration with a faculty member. In your senior project presentation, you'll share your newfound expertise with the academic community.

Student Testimonials

Initially I thought NHTI would be just a stopping-over point, just a place to get my Gen Eds, but it became a major focal point of my education. I met people here who I’ll be in touch with for the rest of my life. And more importantly, NHTI is where I learned how to learn. As a home-schooled student, I had never done school in a brick-and-mortar setting. NHTI is where I learned how to navigate the academic world and developed a good college work ethic. And I learned professionalism working in the Math Lab. This meant a lot, and I enjoyed all of it.

– Jonathan Cooper, Class of 2017

I came in with a fairly high level of math, and went directly into upper-level classes. The professors I worked with were really smart, and the small class sizes made things very personal. I’d taken Calc I online and gotten an A but didn’t really understand it. Having that 1-on-1 experience in the classroom made all the difference.
