The Department of Mathematics offers both a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Arts degree at the undergraduate level. Each of the B.S. and B.A. degrees have multiple concentration depending on what you wish to do upon graduation. All concentration share a common core of courses (calculus, linear algebra, introduction to advanced mathematics, statistics, modern algebra, and analysis) that form the base of the degree. The different concentration offer courses geared toward preparing you for your chosen career.
This concentration offers the most flexibility and is appropriate for those who are either undecided about how they wish to use mathematics upon graduation or those who are also earning a B.S. in another field such as computer science, engineering, or physics.
This concentration is best suited for those planning on going into the work force in business, industry, or government, or to graduate school in applied areas.
This concentration is best suited for those preparing to teach mathematics at the secondary level in the public or private schools. Highly coordinated with the College of Education, this track concludes with student teaching and teaching certification.
This concentration is best suited for those planning to attend graduate school in mathematics in areas such as algebra, analysis, or topology.
This concentration is best suited for those planning to work in industry in the area of statistics, to pursue a career as an actuary, or to attend graduate school in either statistics or actuarial fields.
This track is best suited for someone who likes mathematics and wants a degree in the field, but is perhaps studying another discipline as well so wants to minimize the number of hours and maximize the flexibility. This track requires a minor, so an individual majoring in say art, but loving mathematics can earn this degree counting art as the minor. Or perhaps a history major expects to do some mathematical analysis of historical events – then this is the perfect dual degree.
The Fast Track B.S./M.S. is designed to allow motivated undergraduate mathematics majors to earn both a B.S. and an M.S. degree in five years. This is achieved by allowing students in the program to take the graduate version of four cross-listed courses during their senior year. Students who successfully complete the graduate version of these courses will receive both the graduate credit and undergraduate credit. LEARN MORE →
