Programs of Study

The Mathematics program is designed to prepare you for a career where mathematics might be used either directly or indirectly. For example, in aerodynamics, electronics, marketing, social engineering, opinion analysis, telecommunications, insurance, accounting, automation, management, computer applications, sales, teaching and government operations or research.

The major courses in the program develop the concepts and computational techniques, which will be useful in careers which have mathematical applications. The foundations taught in the courses also help prepare the student to adapt to changes that occur in technological careers.

Degree programs

  • The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics is designed for the student wishing to have a career where mathematics might be used directly or indirectly, for example, in aeronautics, electronics, marketing, social engineering, opinion analysis, insurance, accounting, automation, management, computer applications, sales, teaching, and government operations or research. See degree plan.
  • The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a concentration in Computational Mathematics, which consists of 120 hours, including 43 hours in major courses. See degree plan.

Minor in Mathematics

  • The Mathematics minor is designed to support those disciplines where mathematics in an essential tool.   Among these are Marketing, Management, Physics, Electronics, Engineering, Telecommunications, Chemistry, Biology, Accounting, Computer Applications, Teaching and Psychology.   The minor courses in the program develop the concepts and computational techniques which will be useful in careers which have mathematical content.  See minor plan.
  • A minor in Computational Science is designed to introduce students to the basics of computer programming and familiarize students with powerful computational software packages like Matlab and LabView. The minor in Computational Science also has an independent research component which affords the opportunity for students to engage in original research using advanced computational tools under the supervision of an interdisciplinary team of professors.
