Mathematics, Bachelor of Arts
Mathematics courses seek to help students develop an analytical attitude and become more conscious of the value of precise thinking. The students gain appreciation of how mathematics enriches the intellectual life and how it provides models for handling applications to various other fields. Majors are available in mathematics and in secondary education.
A mathematics major prepares students to enter graduate school, the computer industry, teaching, scientific research, and the actuarial field. In addition, business, psychology, and the social sciences depend heavily on mathematically aware persons.
The mathematics major leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree and requires 33 credits of mathematics and computer and information systems courses.
