Undergraduate
Degree Programs
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers majors in mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics, as well as a minor in mathematics. These programs offers a diverse collection of courses designed not only to enable students to pursue a profession in mathematics itself, but also to enhance students’ competence in the fields of engineering, the physical sciences, the life sciences, and the social sciences. These programs emphasize the broad nature of modern mathematics and its close associations with the real world and prepares students for careers in industry or secondary education, as well as entry into graduate school.
