Majors & Minors
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics
The Bachelor of Arts is designed for students who seek mathematical training as a part of a broad liberal arts program, with the aim of pursuing careers in other fields such as engineering, business, medicine, teaching, and government. It is particularly attractive when combined with another field as a second major, and to this end, the department allows up to two courses from an outside department with significant mathematical content to count toward the B.A. in Mathematics.
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
The Bachelor of Science provides comprehensive training in modern methods of applied and computational mathematics, and reflects contemporary trends by incorporating mathematical modeling as well as computer science and statistics. This degree is designed for students who are planning careers involving analytical problem solving in industry, laboratories, or academia, and is recommended for any student considering graduate school in mathematical science.
Minor in Mathematics
The Mathematics Minor allows students to expand their problem-solving and analytical abilities while exploring the beauty and power of mathematical thinking. Open to students from all majors outside the Department of Mathematics, the program enhances studies in fields ranging from business and engineering to the sciences and liberal arts, providing a strong foundation for academic, professional, and personal growth.
