The upper-division requirements in the major total 45–50 credits. Thus, a mathematics major has ample opportunity to take further mathematics courses focused toward specific interests and career goals. Programs supporting interdisciplinary interests are strongly encouraged.
The department offers programs leading to the BS, MA, MS, and PhD degrees in Mathematics. Undergraduate minors are offered in Mathematics and Actuarial Science.
Students interested in teaching mathematics at the secondary level should contact a departmental advisor and discuss the Secondary Teaching Emphasis option available under the Mathematics major. Likewise, students interested in careers in the area of financial mathematics or as actuaries should meet with a member of the departmental Actuarial Sciences Committee.
Additional information pamphlets about both the undergraduate and graduate programs are available on the Department of Mathematics website.
