MATHEMATICS MAJOR
The mathematics major is designed to meet the needs of students planning to enter a wide variety of vocations. The major has sufficient flexibility to prepare a student for graduate study in mathematics and/or to enter into a career in teaching, statistics, computer science, actuarial science, business, economics or engineering.
In addition to a thorough preparation in specific areas of mathematics, the student who majors in mathematics will develop a habit of accuracy and logical thought processes, acquire an appreciation of the aesthetic qualities and historical development of mathematics, and gain an appreciation and understanding of concepts and techniques in mathematics that are applicable to other areas of scientific endeavor.
Any student who completes a mathematics major should be well on the way toward entering one of the above-mentioned vocations, all of which will be in high demand.
