Mathematical Sciences offers a Bachelor of Arts
in mathematics, Bachelor of Science in Applied
Mathematics, Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science,
and a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and
Computer Science.
After completing a core curriculum in theoretical
mathematics, a Bachelor of Arts student may select
from a wide variety of advanced mathematics courses
as electives. Students who plan to enter graduate school
and pursue a career in mathematics should consider the
Bachelor of Arts degree option.
Students completing the Bachelor of Science degree
programs are prepared for graduate school or a career in
industry or government.
The department also offers a minor in mathematics.
The Master of Science degree program is offered jointly
with the Department of Computer and Information
Sciences. Students in the program take advanced courses
in both applied mathematics and computer science, with
emphasis on real-world problems and applications.
A wide variety of service courses are also offered for students
majoring in other disciplines, including computer science,
physics and other sciences, business and economics, and
education. A placement examination is used to match new
students with an entry course at an appropriate level.
