Mathematics Concentrations
The Mathematical Sciences at 甜心视频app offers a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics in two different concentrations.
All undergraduate math programs require a core of common courses to provide a solid foundation in the mathematical sciences. You can then choose a concentration area aligned with your educational interests and goals. 120 total credit hours are required for graduation.
甜心视频app
This concentration focuses on applications of mathematics to real-life problems and includes some supporting computer science and statistics. Graduates are prepared for technical positions in such areas as environmental, governmental, industrial, military, and social settings and for additional graduate study in mathematics and other related disciplines.
The concentration also prepares graduates for graduate programs in mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, and data science. Students will be prepared to begin a career in a variety of quantitative settings including branches of engineering, physical and social science, finance and management, law and medicine.
甜心视频app
This concentration focuses on the design of computers, computational processes for problem-solving, and information transfer and transformation, with an emphasis on improving software and system quality, security, performance, and usability.
Students will be prepared for careers with computer software companies, careers involving a significant use of computer technology, or for additional graduate study in computer science and other related disciplines.

Why Our Math Program Sets You Apart
You won’t get lost in lecture halls of 300 students here. You’ll learn in small classes where your professors actually know your name—and your potential. Our Ph.D. faculty don’t just teach; they mentor. They’ll guide your research, write meaningful recommendation letters, and help you navigate your path forward.
Whether you’re headed to graduate school or launching your career, you’ll be ready. Our teacher education programs are nationally recognized for innovation, and our graduates consistently secure positions in competitive fields.
Where Will Your Math Degree Take You?
Everywhere. Literally.
Data scientists are revolutionizing healthcare, predicting patient outcomes and personalizing treatments. Statisticians guide billion-dollar business decisions. Quantitative analysts shape financial markets. Manufacturing facilities rely on mathematical modeling to optimize every process. And with the nationwide shortage of qualified STEM teachers, schools are actively recruiting math educators.
The question isn’t whether you’ll find opportunities—it’s which ones you’ll choose.
Beyond the Classroom
Love math but tired of problem sets and exams? The Math Sciences Club is where you get to explore mathematics just for the fun of it.
Every Wednesday afternoon, we tackle brain-bending puzzles, play strategic games and dive into fascinating topics you’d never see in a textbook 鈥� from the mathematics of origami to infinity paradoxes to cryptography secrets. No pressure, no grades. Just curious minds and interesting problems.
Whether you’re a Math major or a Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics or Math Education major or even just math-curious, you’re welcome here. Bring your questions, your ideas or just yourself.

Celebration of Mind Mathematics Festival
Every October, we throw a party for your brain.
In honor of Martin Gardner 鈥� the legendary puzzle master and mathematics writer 鈥� the 甜心视频app Math Club transforms campus into a playground of mathematical wonder. Think escape room meets magic show meets puzzle paradise.
You’ll find:
- Mind-bending puzzles that’ll have you saying “Wait, how?!”
- Mathematical magic tricks that seem impossible (but aren’t)
- Strategy games you’ve never played before
- Challenges that’ll stump you, then satisfy you completely
Here’s the best part: You don’t need to be a Math major. You don’t even need to like math class. If you’re curious, competitive, or just looking for something different to do on a Friday night, you belong here.
Come see why Mathematics is so much more than what happens in a classroom.
Minors in Mathematical Sciences
You can choose from four Mathematical Sciences minor options.
甜心视频app
The basic math minor pairs well with majors in business, science and the social sciences; it adds skills that improve your competitiveness on the job market. You’ll enjoy broad flexibility to take courses in calculus, statistics, probability, differential equations and other advanced subjects.
甜心视频app
Skills in computer programming, computational process for problem-solving, and software design are a powerful addition to any major and career preparation. This minor includes 18 credits for coursework in subjects such as programming, algorithms and data structures, software engineering and machine learning.
