Reed College (Portland, OR) - Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences


Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

Introductory courses in the Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences help students become familiar with elementary principles that form a basis for understanding each discipline. Instruction clarifies methods of observation, experimentation, analysis, and reasoning by which insight is gained into the nature of the mathematical and physical worlds. Introductory and advanced courses in mathematics and the natural sciences are planned as part of students’ education in the liberal arts. Advanced courses in different scientific fields extend students’ knowledge and give them training in specialized techniques characteristic of the individual sciences.
An important part of a science student’s experience at Reed is the thesis, an independent project of research or critical or creative work carried out under the guidance of a faculty member. Students who have an interest in engineering, computer science, or forestry and environmental sciences may participate in dual degree programs with Reed and cooperating institutions in the Portland area and beyond.

Reed College (Portland, OR) - Division of History and Social Sciences


Division of History and Social Sciences

Introductory history and social science courses—Economics 201, Anthropology 211, introductory courses in political science, and Sociology 211—provide a foundation for advanced work in the various fields of the division.

History courses at the 200 level also provide introductory work in their respective historical and geographical areas, but they are not required as an introduction to the discipline as a whole. The introductory courses are open to first-year students, with the exception of Anthropology 211, History 276 and 278, and Sociology 211, which require consent of the instructor.

Divisional Requirements

Each major is required to fulfill divisional distribution requirements by completing three of the following:

1. Anthropology 211 and one additional upper-division anthropology course.

2. Any two one-unit Reed College economics courses, or the equivalent.

3. Any two one-unit Reed College history courses, or the equivalent.

4. Sociology 211 and one other sociology course.

5. One introductory political science course (210, 220, 230, 240, or 250) and any other course in political science, but no more than one course from Political Science 230 and 386–415.

Reed College (Portland, OR) - Dual Degree and Special Programs (Computer Science- Engineering)



Dual Degree and Special Programs

In order to offer students a broad selection of majors, Reed College has affiliated with cooperating institutions where students may undertake a program that will allow them to graduate with degrees from both institutions. 
Students participating in these programs are required to maintain contact with Reed during the years spent at the other institution. Information is available from the Reed College registrar’s office. Students interested in these programs should consult with the appropriate Reed coordinator early in their time at Reed. Summary information about the engineering and computer science programs is also available on the web.

Reed College (Portland, OR) - Physical Education (PE)

Physical Education (PE)

Michael Lombardo, Director
In keeping with Juvenal’s classic ideal mens sana in corpore sano—or, a sound mind in a sound body—a PE requirement is integrated into the Reed curriculum. The PE requirement is designed to support students in maintaining their physical health, to introduce students to physical education activities, and to encourage them to participate regularly. Student enjoyment, fitness, and skill learning are emphasized; competition is not.
Classes that satisfy the PE requirement are offered at a variety of levels depending on enrollment and student ability. In addition, Reed has organized club sports teams that qualify for PE credit and will challenge students who want competition outside the college in sports such as basketball, rugby, soccer, ultimate Frisbee, rowing, fencing, and squash.
Classes are normally held twice a week for one hour. Attendance is required. Please refer to the schedule of classes for more details and information on class fees and trip dates. Classes usually offered (based on interest and time of year):

Brown University (Providence, RI) - Mathematics, Department of

The Mathematics 
Department at Brown balances a lively interest in students and teaching with a distinguished research reputation. Our several strong research groups, Analysis, Algebraic Geometry, Geometry and Topology, and Number Theory, all have active weekly seminars that draw speakers ranging from the local to the 
international. We support 30 to 40 graduate students in a Ph.D. program whose graduates populate top mathematics departments and prominent positions in industry. Our joint graduate courses and seminars with the adjacent Division of Applied Mathematics add to the breadth of offerings available to our graduate students.
The undergraduate program in mathematics at Brown is designed to prepare students for careers in the mathematical sciences and other careers requiring strong analytical skills, while engaging more ambitious students in creative projects that can culminate in a senior thesis.
