In the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mathematical Sciences program, you will learn the fundamentals of pure and applied mathematics, preparing you for a career in mathematics, natural sciences, computer science, social sciences or business.
As a Mathematical Sciences major, you will choose to concentrate in one of seven specialized areas:
- Actuarial Science
- Applied and Computational Mathematics
- Financial Mathematics
- Pure Mathematics
- Quantitative Analysis and Operations Research
- Statistics
- Individualized Concentration
Depending on your concentration, you may take courses in:
- Accounting
- Applied regression analysis
- Calculus
- Discrete mathematics
- Economics
- Finance
- Investments and risk management
- Linear algebra
- Mathematical reasoning
- Probability and statistics
In order to complete the Mathematical Sciences BS degree, you are required to take an additional 16 quarter-hours in natural sciences or computer science.A thesis option is available under the guidance of a faculty member if
you are interested in pursuing an extended independent project related
to a theoretical or applied focus of the Mathematics program.
We also offer four combined degree programs, which allow you to complete a bachelor's degree and a graduate degree in five years:
- Mathematical Sciences (B.S.) / Applied Mathematics (M.S.)
- Mathematical Sciences (B.S.) / Applied Statistics (M.S.)
- Mathematical Sciences (B.S.) / Pure Mathematics (M.S.)
- Mathematical Sciences (B.S.) / Master's of Secondary Education in Mathematical Sciences
