Why study Mathematics?
The B.S. in Mathematics program is a rigorous, but flexible
program. All students enroll in the core of 55 credits of
mathematics, and also choose at least three electives in
mathematics. Then, there is a choice of electives outside of
mathematics that gives students a background in fields where
mathematics is heavily used in industry and government.
Therefore, this degree prepares students for a career in
industry or government, or for graduate study in mathematics
or a closely related field.
