A degree in mathematics prepares you to pursue careers in engineering and science or to enter graduate study in any area of the mathematical sciences, including actuarial science and statistics. This program culminates in a mathematics capstone project on a topic in theoretical or applied mathematics, with opportunities to engage in cross-disciplinary, team-oriented research experiences.
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics
The B.A. program in mathematics provides a breadth of mathematical study within the context of a liberal arts degree. It may be chosen as a preparation for a professional career in business, education, law or social science.
This degree affords students a significant distribution of courses in the humanities and social sciences so that they can develop a concentration in a field other than mathematics.
A student's career goals can suggest desirable upper level mathematics electives. Prospective secondary mathematics teachers should consider pursuing the B.A. in mathematics as a second major.
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
The B.S. program in mathematics provides a foundation for students who wish to pursue graduate studies in any area of the mathematical sciences, to enter the actuarial profession or to enter careers where mathematics is used in an engineering or science setting.
The elective courses can be used to complement a chosen career path. Those planning on pursuing an actuarial career should consider completing the actuarial science minor.
All students pursuing a bachelor of science in mathematics are required to complete a minor in another subject.
