The Department of Mathematics at the University of Dayton has student chapters of two national mathematics organizations, the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and Pi Mu Epsilon. These organizations attempt to educate students about math outside their typical coursework and to give them an understanding of possible careers in math and math-related fields.

UD's MAA student chapter, known as the Math Club, welcomes students from all disciplines who have an interest in mathematics. Pi Mu Epsilon is an honorary mathematics organization which inducts new members each spring based on academic performance.

The two organizations share a structure of student officers and hold joint monthly meetings and social events. At monthly meetings, speakers are invited to talk to the group. In the past, these speakers have included faculty and students from both on- and off-campus. They have spoken about current research, graduate school opportunities, and career possibilities in mathematics. In addition, students are made aware of departmental activities as well as regional conferences and contests in mathematics. Any interested students are encouraged to attend.
