Bachelor’s in Mathematics Curriculum
The mathematics major provides a core of applied mathematics, pure mathematics, and analytical sciences. This major provides students with the mathematical skills to formulate, abstract, analyze and solve problems typically encountered by mathematicians, educators, government officials, scientists, engineers, and other professionals.
Graduates of this program will be prepared to enter graduate study in mathematics and pursue careers in science, industry, and business.
*Students are required to complete 30 credit hours as part of the General Education Program Requirements and 53 (or 54) Credits of Major Requirements.
