Mathematics & Statistics Concentrations

Both our Mathematics Major, B.S. and Statistical Science Major, B.S. require students to declare a concentration.

Our concentrations include:

• Applied Mathematics: The concentration in Applied Mathematics is designed to meet the needs of the scientific, technical, and computer-based economy and to prepare the student for graduate study. Our curriculum provides students with state-of-the-art practices and technologies, to ensure that they ae equipped with real-world, hands-on experience.
• General Mathematics: The goals of this program are to provide students with broad-based and coherent preparation in the various disciplines that constitute the mathematical sciences and considerable flexibility among upper division course choices to meet the needs of those students with diverse mathematical interests.
• Mathematics Education: The goals of this program are to provide students with broad-based and coherent preparation in the various disciplines that constitute the mathematical sciences and the pedagogical knowledge of mathematics needed to begin a career as a middle or high school mathematics teacher. Obtaining this degree, however, does not require that you obtain licensure to be a middle or high school mathematics teacher. This concentration also prepares students for continued study of the mathematical sciences at the graduate level.
• Probability and Statistics: The goals of this program are to provide students with broad-based and coherent preparation in the various disciplines that constitute the mathematical sciences and the specialized training necessary to begin a career in actuarial science, design of experiments, biostatistics, demography, and other areas related to probability and statistics. This concentration also prepares students for continued study of the mathematical sciences at the graduate level.
• Theoretical Mathematics: The goals of  this program are to provide students with direct links to course work at the graduate  level. The program concentrates on abstract concepts in mathematics.
