Mathematics Major (BS)

There is a whole world of problems waiting to be solved, and if that thought gives you as much energy and excitement as it does for us, join us as we attempt to find the answers in the mathematics major!

To join the mathematics community is to step into one of the world’s oldest sciences. But mathematical skills hold as much weight today as in all of history. Just think: You could be laying the foundations for mathematicians to build on centuries from now.

Whether you want to go into business, become a math teacher, or pursue a career in the sciences, our core curriculum will challenge and prepare you to become an integrated and analytical thinker.

As a mathematics major, you will learn the mathematical theories, computational techniques, algorithms and computer technology needed to solve advanced engineering, economic, physics, scientific and business problems.

Dispelling Some ‘Myths’

When it comes to math, perhaps you’ve heard these statements before:

• All you can do with a math major is teach.
• Math is an extremely challenging major.

Here are the facts: Teaching is just one small aspect of the discipline! Our graduates have landed jobs as data analysts, mathematicians and actuaries, many of whom work for large corporate and government agencies. And while the major is challenging, you will find support from faculty members who will take the time to know you and learn your strengths. You don’t have to be a “brilliant thinker” to be a math major!
