I graduated from Carroll College in May of 2017 with a bachelor of arts in mathematics and a minor in computer science and am now currently in the Computation Sciences Ph.D. program at Marquette University.
I have nothing but good things to say about the Carroll College mathematics department and its faculty. The transition from undergrad to graduate school has gone extremely well due to the education I received from my mathematics and computer science classes.

What is your favorite thing about Helena?
I love how Helena has a small town atmosphere but still provides BIG opportunities. There are lots of places to do internships and get advice from professionals. Being at Carroll in Helena has made me very optimistic about my future. As a nursing major I am looking forward to having my clinical experiences at both St. Peter’s Hospital and Shodair Childrens Hospital located here in Helena.

It was the first time Tyler Zimmer went looking for some one-to-one help from a professor. And he was immediately struck by how accessible, personable, and willing to engage his professor was. There was no appointment necessary. No time limit given.
Whatever individual guidance Tyler needed to work through the problem, he got. These are the moments of mentorship that have characterized Tyler’s time at Carroll.

What were your majors?
While at Carroll, I majored in History, History & Political Science for Secondary Education, and Social Studies for Secondary Education. I spent five years at Carroll College to play football, so I wanted to get the most out of my degree.
