Program Description 

International Direct is designed for international students with advanced English-language skills. The focus is on academic, cultural and professional growth so students can excel in school and prepare for a successful future.

Mathematicians use math theory, computational techniques, algorithms, and computer technology to solve problems in various fields, including basic sciences, engineering, computer science, economics, business, finance, and social sciences. The study of math is divided into pure (theoretical) mathematics, which involves discovering new mathematical principles and relationships, and applied mathematics, which involves the use of existing mathematics and the development of new mathematical principles and relationships to solve practical problems. Statistics is a category in applied mathematics that involves data analysis.

Skills developed in this major include: analytical skills, ability to construct logical arguments, ability to perform computer-aided computations, ability to think outside the box, communication skills, problem solving skills, quantitative reasoning, writing skills.
