Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics

Program Scope: The Bachelor of Arts is offered for students with a general interest in mathematics; Bachelor of Science programs in applied mathematics and statistics are also offered. Courses are offered in mathematics education for prospective elementary and secondary teachers. Copies of program requirements are available in the mathematics department office. Career Outlook: The degree programs in mathematics and statistics prepare students for additional graduate work; teaching careers; and work in business, industry, and government that apply mathematical and statistical concepts. In addition, specific careers in actuarial science, investment firms, computer industry, biomedical research and the government sector (such as NASA and the NSA) are especially attractive. The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics has three concentrations: Liberal Arts Teaching Advanced Study The Liberal Arts concentration is for students who desire a broad liberal arts education with an emphasis in mathematics.
