Degrees and Requirements

Mathematics - BS

The major in Mathematics introduces students to a field whose origins date from the dawn of history and whose ever-increasing pervasiveness and importance in science, engineering, business and finance renders it a veritable master-key in understanding the world about us.  The degree in mathematics opens many doors to students upon graduation, to a job in business, industry or government, to certification as a teacher, to graduate study in mathematics, statistics and computer science, among many other fields, or to a professional school such as in business or law.  Moreover, the major in mathematics serves as a gateway not only to a job and career, but also to a world where logic and imagination combine to create timeless beauty and truth.
