Mathematics Majors: After Kenyon

Each year, our students win fellowships and assistantships to attend graduate programs in mathematics and statistics. Some go on to medical, law, and business schools, and many students go to jobs with prestigious firms, such as McKinsey and J.P. Morgan, immediately after graduation.
