The Mathematics major offers a strong program in mathematical techniques and ways of thinking that can be used in a wide variety of careers. The major covers core topics that provide a common structure, while leaving flexibility to pursue topics of interest. This flexibility allows the Mathematics major to be combined with other majors in the sciences, engineering, and technology to form a coherent undergraduate experience. Whether as a part of a double major or alone, a B.S. degree with a major in mathematics is a recognized intellectual achievement. It is marketable to a broad selection of employers, or can be used as an entrance to a variety of graduate and professional schools.

The B.S. degree is intended for those interested in rigorous training in mathematics and a mathematically intensive career. It is appropriate for those preparing to enter graduate school in the mathematical sciences. For a slightly more flexible program a student may consider the B.A. degree with a major in mathematics. The B.A. degree would be appropriate for students who double major in mathematics and another field. Other mathematics majors offered are Actuarial Science, Applied Mathematics, Mathematical Statistics, and Meteorology.  The B.S. degree is also offered with a mathematical statistics track.  When planning any program of study in mathematics, it is strongly recommended that you consult an advisor from the Department.
