Programs in Mathematical Sciences

Majors

Minors

The mathematics major provides students with rigorous training in core mathematics that serves as a foundation for a wide variety of careers as well as graduate school in mathematics and related fields. Our program emphasizes strong quantitative skills, logical reasoning, critical thinking and proficiency with technology - skills that are important assets for employment in virtually any area. Recent graduates have gone on to positions with financial institutions, insurance companies, government agencies, and public and private schools. Many students choose to combine their mathematics degree with teacher certification at the elementary or secondary level, or with a minor in information technology, accounting, biology, psychology and other areas. Concentrations in computer science and economics provide more specialized training for a particular career path and increased marketability.
