Scholarship

Matt Lunsford with a studentWhat does it mean to be a scholar? What is the nature of scholarship?

The Department of Mathematics, by following a model advocated by Ernest Boyer in his seminal work entitled Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate, encourages its faculty members to be engaged in four types of scholarly endeavors:

  • The scholarship of discovery.
  • The scholarship of integration.
  • The scholarship of application.
  • The scholarship of teaching.

"We need scholars who not only skillfully explore the frontiers of knowledge, but also integrate ideas, connect thought to action, and inspire students."- Ernest Boyer
