Students in a classroom

The mathematics major is designed for students interested in careers in mathematics, teaching, and industry. It prepares students for employment in government or industry, teaching in high schools or middle schools, or for graduate study in mathematics.

Mathematics majors learn:

  • Proficiency in the core areas of knowledge in mathematics which includes calculus (analysis), algebra, and logic
  • Analytical thinking and problem solving skills relevant to the analysis of abstract mathematical ideas and the solving of applied mathematical problems
  • Oral and written communication skills necessary to convey abstract mathematical ideas clearly to their peers and others who require such information
  • Knowledge and skills necessary for a variety of careers which use mathematics as well as receive preparation sufficient for further study in mathematics

A minor is also available.
