Bachelor of Science – Mathematics Major (120 hrs.)
The mathematics curriculum is a broad-based program with special emphasis on developing critical reasoning skills and fostering competence in mathematical analysis, application, and expression. A BS degree in mathematics can lead to some of the most rewarding and satisfying careers, such as operations research analysts, mathematicians, statisticians, actuaries, data scientists, financial analysts, postsecondary teachers, cryptographers, and risk analyst, just to name a few. Moreover, several government agencies including NSA, NASA, FBI, CIA, private banks, insurance agencies, software developers, and other STEM research organizations offer attractive career paths to math majors. Students in our program can further strengthen their academic and professional portfolio by choosing an appropriate academic minor, and/or a dual degree/major program. Being an institutional member of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), we are able to offer complimentary MAA membership to our students, so that they can enjoy being in the largest national network of mathematicians. We sponsor our students to attend, and present at regional math meetings, and also offer independent study, and undergraduate research experience on as needed basis. Our academic and career advisors gladly help our students in setting and earning their goals, and our faculty takes great pride in preparing our students to succeed, lead, and serve.
