PROGRAM GOAL: The purpose of this program is to prepare students for a career in mathematics. The problem solving skills taught in mathematics prepare students for a great number of job opportunities. A four year degree could lead to employment in academics, a government agency, or an insurance agency. Examples of job titles of people who have earned a baccalaureate degree or higher in mathematics include computer specialist, investment actuary, cost estimator, financial engineer, and numerical methods programmer/analyst. Students are encouraged to be familiar with the admissions requirements at the university they plan to attend.
