Bachelor of Science - Mathematics (Women only)

Math is everywhere, from the simplest counting tasks to the most complex social, scientific and engineering problems. By embarking on a mathematical journey, students will gain the strong quantitative and analytical skills that are needed in an increasingly data and technologically driven world. Simply put, math is a key that opens many doors to future professional explorations. Graduates from Simmons University enter a myriad of fields and industries, spanning the spectrum from politics to engineering, and from medicine to business. The skills that students develop through a mathematical education will continue to be in high demand in a changing world—even in future fields that may not exist today.

The Mathematics major is designed to build strong backgrounds in many mathematical areas: pure and applied, discrete and continuous, stochastic and deterministic. This major will prepare students for a graduate study in Mathematics and related fields, if they choose that path. Students will also gain the habits of mind that will lead to success in any career, whether or not “math” appears in the job title. This major also take Statistics and Computer Science courses, which prepares them to hit the ground running in data and technology jobs.

In addition to acquiring knowledge and skills, the supportive environment in the department helps students to gain and foster confidence not only to be successful in future careers, but to grow into leaders ready to tackle new challenges, no matter how big or complex.
