The Mathematics curriculum offers a strong foundation in applied and pure mathematics,
plus analytical sciences. Core studies include calculus, linear algebra, and differential
equations. Choose from electives like combinatorics, probability, and cryptography
to tailor your path for careers or graduate studies.
*Students are required to complete 30 credit hours as part of the General Education Program Requirements and 53 (or 54) Credits of Major Requirements.
