The mathematics major is designed to meet the increasing need for mathematicians in areas of science and technology and to prepare students for graduate study in mathematics.
The mathematics major has two options:
The applied program prepares students to apply mathematics in areas of science, business and technology.
The traditional program prepares students for mathematics research and graduate school.
