BS Mathematics

The BS in mathematics is a concentrated program that prepares you for a variety of career options in mathematics and related fields. The students choose one concentration area from: mathematics, sciences, statistics, and computer science to enhance their skills. Concentrating in the sciences is a favored option for the premeds in our program. Concentrations in mathematics or statistics are preferred by our students who go on to graduate school in mathematics or related fields like economics. The science of mathematics differs from empirical sciences such as biology, chemistry, and physics. Theories in these fields are supported by bodies of observation and remain true until invalidated or refined by new information. Mathematical theories are supported by deductive proof and remain true forever. For example, the geometry of the ancient Greeks is still valid and useful even though Euclid wrote his famous Elements more than two thousand years ago.
