BA/BS in Mathematics

Mathematics is available as a Bachelor of Arts or a science bachelor's degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, totaling 120 credits. The department notes that graduates enter biomathematics, statistics, operations research, actuarial work, cryptography and mathematics education. This Bachelor of Arts degree suits those aiming for a mathematical career or secondary teaching without graduate plans, and allows flexible electives that make a double major easier. This Bachelor of Science degree targets students planning graduate study in mathematics. Both degrees demand eight core courses and four approved electives, with at least 39 credits of mathematics. All major work needs a grade of C or higher. Graduation depends on meeting requirements set at the university, college and major levels, so early advising is sensible.
