Mathematics Curriculum

Bachelor of Arts (A. B.) or Bachelor of Science (S. B.)

The mathematics major offers students a variety of choices. Students may prepare for graduate study in mathematics dependent fields such as statistics, operations research or management. They may also prepare for a career in Middle Childhood and Adolescent Education, research, or related fields immediately after graduation.

In addition to the required number of credits needed to complete the major, all students must also fulfill the general degree requirements in order to graduate.
