Mathematics, Bachelor of Arts (with Secondary Teacher Certification)

This major is intended for students that are pursuing a basic math major for employment purposes and/or are interested in mathematics as part of a degree with two majors. Students pursuing teacher certification will also major in Science and Mathematics Education (774).

Middle Grades Mathematics, Bachelor of Science

A major in middle grades mathematics is for students who plan to teach mathematics in grades 5-9 only.  The degree requires a second major in Science and Mathematics Education (774). Upon successful completion of both majors, the student will receive a Bachelor of Science degree.

Mathematical Economics, Bachelor of Science

This major is for students wishing to pursue either a graduate degree in economics or a highly applied, analytical occupation with a heavy emphasis on quantitative skills such as an actuary. This degree does not require a second major or a minor. 

Choose from one of 2 concentrations:

• General Mathematical Economics (MEGM)
• Actuarial Science (MEAS)

Mathematics, Minor

This minor is intended for employment in industry and/or graduate studies in mathematics.

Applied Statistics, Minor

A minor in applied statistics requires a minimum of 19 semester hours. This program is designed for a student seeking a career as a statistical programmer/analyst/consultant in a knowledge-based industry or in a research institution.

Joint Undergraduate-Masters Program (JUMP)

The Department of Mathematics offers a Joint Undergraduate Master's Program (JUMP) which provides academically outstanding students the opportunity to complete both an undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree and a graduate Master of Science degree in an accelerated timeframe. The M.S. in Mathematics prepares students to be competitive applicants for admission into a Ph.D. program and/or for positions where strong research skills are needed.
