DEGREE PROGRAMS
Our mathematics curriculum is designed to develop quantitative reasoning
skills, conceptual understanding, computational skills and the ability to
effectively communicate in mathematics, the language of the natural and social
sciences.
Students majoring in mathematics may pursue four degree options - a
Bachelor of Science in Pre-doctoral Mathematics, or a
Bachelor of Science leading to certification to
teach mathematics at the elementary, junior high, middle school or secondary
level, a Bachelor of
Science in Applied Mathematics or a
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics.
Bachelor of Science in Pre-doctoral Mathematics
Pre-doctoral mathematics is a highly selective program for students
who intend to pursue graduate study in mathematics leading to a doctoral
degree. It involves undergraduate research and a curriculum that
includes many courses typically offered only at the graduate level.
Bachelor of Science in
Mathematics Education
This program leads to certification to teach mathematics at the
senior high, junior high or middle school levels. Student gain
expertise in the subject matter through their mathematics courses and in
teaching theories and methods through their education courses. In
addition, the mathematical training received by students pursuing this
degree can serve as preparation for graduate study or background for a
mathematical career outside of education.

Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics
This major offers a firm foundation in applied
mathematics by combining a rigorous program of study in mathematics with
a concentration in one or more fields of application-disciplines in
which mathematical tools are used to solve real-world problems.
Areas of application include actuarial science, business administration,
computer science, economics and the physical or biological sciences.
Graduates are prepared for either immediate employment or continued
study at the graduate level.
Sample Plans of Study
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics
This major is designed for students seeking
exposure to advanced mathematics as part of a broad-based liberal arts
curriculum. It is particularly suitable for students interested in
pursuing graduate study in mathematics or related disciplines.
