This Mathematics Major (B.S.) is intended for those interested in rigorous training in mathematics and a mathematically intensive career. It is recommended for those preparing to enter graduate school in the mathematical sciences.
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. The department also offers a B.A. in mathematics, which is an attractive option for students considering a double major.
- Rigorous training for a mathematically intensive career or graduate school in the mathematical sciences
