2. Hold at least a bachelor’s degree in a related field.
3. Display a great passion for and mastery of math.

6. Be eager to teach classically, build a biblical worldview for students, and collaborate with other faculty members to foster integration with history, science, art, and theology classes.
7. Display the spirit of a life-longer learner.
