Mathematics

What You'll Learn

You'll graduate ready to:

• Study mathematics at the graduate level
• Enter jobs in business, government, or industry
• Study subjects that require a strong mathematics background, such as chemistry, economics, engineering, operations research, and actuarial science

Our mathematics degree prepares you for success in advanced studies, or private and public sector careers. Graduates go on to roles within economics, engineering, chemistry, logistics and operations, as well as actuarial science, among others. Discover what else you can do with a career in mathematics.

Program Requirements

To graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, students must complete 120 credit hours. These credit hours split among General Education Requirements (GERs), course prerequisites, and major courses. Expand each section below to see the range of course offerings, and different math course requirements by department.

Core Courses

The 8 credits of calculus-based physics courses also serve as the natural science General Education Requirement (GER).

Assessment and additional graduation requirements

Each mathematics major must take an assessment to be considered for graduation. Department faculty creates the assessment, which may involve completing an individual or group project related to topics taught in major courses.

In addition to the assessment, each major must also take a final capstone course (MATH 417) during senior year. This course covers current and advanced topics in the field, and brings together concepts learned throughout the program.
