Mathematics, B.S.
Our department offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in mathematics. Areas of emphasis within the major include general mathematics, actuarial science, secondary education and applied mathematics. The program provides students with foundational abilities in linear and abstract algebra as well as proficiency in logic, set theory, functions and fundamental methods of mathematical proof. In addition to core requirements, the department offers electives on topics such as applied math, geometry and topology, real analysis, discrete math, logic and number theory, to name only a few.
Mathematics is an ideal major or double major to build computational and collaborative skills for future researchers, scientists, economists and medical practitioners. Those immediately entering the workforce will have widely sought-after skills and habits of mind conducive to productive and rewarding careers. Students pursuing graduate-level studies will be prepared with the necessary analytical skills and effective problem-solving strategies.
Undergraduates may also pursue a B.S. with Distinction, which requires maintaining a high GPA, additional coursework, research experience and the completion of an undergraduate thesis with the mark of “distinction.”
