Undergraduate Degrees
 
 

The Department of Mathematics offers both a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Arts degree at the undergraduate level. Each of the BS and BA degrees have multiple tracks depending on what you wish to do upon graduation. All tracks share a common core of courses (calculus, linear algebra, introduction to advanced mathematics, statistics, modern algebra, and analysis) that form the base of the degree. The different tracks offer courses geared toward preparing you for your chosen career.

Bachelor of Science

General Track – This track offers the most flexibility and is appropriate for those who are either undecided about how they wish to use mathematics upon graduation or those who are also earning a BS in another field such as computer science, engineering, or physics.

Pure Math Track – This track is best suited for those planning to attend graduate school in mathematics in areas such as algebra, analysis, or topology.

Applied Math Track – This track is best suited for those planning on going into the work force in business, industry, or government, or to graduate school in applied areas.

Statistics Track – This track is best suited for those planning to work in industry in the area of statistics, to pursue a career as an actuary, or to attend graduate school in either statistics or actuarial fields.
