Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, primarily a program in applied mathematics. It provides the student with the fundamentals of the major areas of mathematics, with special emphasis on those branches of mathematics that are important in applications. The program provides the necessary background for students who wish to apply mathematics in the natural sciences, in engineering as well as for a career in actuarial science. Employment opportunities for applied mathematicians exist in industries, medical technology, and financial institutions.

Choices for a degree program with a major in mathematics are the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with emphasis in natural sciences, Computer Science, or financial mathematics.
