Mathematics Major

The Mathematics major is designed to develop concepts and techniques for liberal arts students interested in the general field of mathematics. Courses are designed for those who wish to pursue careers such as actuarial work, high school mathematics teaching, sales support consulting, program management, financial analysis, or technical careers in industry or government and for those who want to pursue further study in graduate school.

Students plan an individualized program that will best suit their needs and goals in consultation with a faculty advisor from the Mathematics and Computer Science Department. Majors should consult with the department chairperson to choose an advisor in the third semester.  Students must have course approved by their advisor each semester.
