Mathematics Concentration
Overview
Careers in mathematics are diverse, intellectually challenging and financially rewarding. Mathematical research and education are at the heart of some careers such as teaching, actuarial science, operations research, statistics, computer science, and cryptography. Other careers utilize mathematics and its applications to build and enhance important work in the sciences, business, finance, manufacturing, communications, and engineering. Even students who plan to pursue carers in fields not directly related to mathematics will benefit from the analytical and problem-solving skills that are cultivated in rigorous mathematics courses.
Students who place into developmental math and/or English should begin the course sequence in the first semester. Please see an advisor with questions.
