The mission of the program offered by the University of Central Florida is to offer the opportunity for excellence and development to students with visionary and relevant programs of high quality at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to advance mathematical research to benefit society. 

Mathematics is in the broadest sense the study of structure. Through quantification, relationships, and modeling, mathematics provides us with the intellectual structural framework that permits us to develop an understanding of the phenomena that envelops us. The skills that are developed in mathematical training have broad application in the workplace. 

Graduates with degrees in mathematics are well prepared for a variety of careers and are in high demand from employers who require analytical skill, data organization, and problem solving. Training in mathematics also earns the approbation of admission committees for legal, medical, and other professional training. This means that graduates in mathematics are able to pursue job careers with high salaries and high job-satisfaction.
