Mathematics shapes the way we interact with and perceive almost every aspect of society and the natural world. Mathematics is a fundamental science that can be applied in countless ways to support careers in science, business, economics, and the arts. Students work one-on-one with professors and have the chance to attend conferences and seminars or enroll in the co-op program. A large percentage of undergraduate mathematics students are hired to assist faculty with their research – often as early as their first or second year.
