Bachelor of Arts - Mathematics

Contemporary mathematicians helped researchers complete the Human Genome Project, play a role in code breaking and national security and are key players in developing lifelike animation in Pixar films like “Cars 2” and “Brave.” Whatever students interests are, mathematics provides a good foundation for many careers.

If students enjoy numbers, problem-solving and analyzing data, mathematics is a major for their. They can become a financial analyst evaluating economic conditions to help a corporation make smart business decisions, or an actuary using data to predict health trends for an insurance company. Mathematicians work with chemical engineers to develop mathematical models that further research and development of products, and applied mathematicians collaborate with industrial designers to create the best aerodynamic conditions when designing airplanes, structures or cars.

In the program, students learn about the newest technological innovations used in mathematics and learn how to communicate their research effectively. Students gain knowledge and skills they can use in fields such as science, government, business and education. They choose courses in their area of interest — such as teaching, statistics or actuarial studies — and graduate prepared to pursue an advanced degree.
