Mathematics (BS)

/undergraduate/sciences/mathematics/mathematics-bs/

The bachelor of science in mathematics is our most flexible curriculum. The mathematics and science requirements in the program along with the General Education Program in the humanities and social sciences ensure that graduates receive a broad education with a technical slant. At the same time, the large number of elective choices within the program makes it an appropriate curriculum for students with a variety of interests and career goals. Students can easily pair out a mathematics degree with another major (e.g. Statistics, Physics, Engineering, Math Educations, Economics, etc).
