The Mathematics Department offers the three degrees: the bachelor of arts; the bachelor of science, with a major in mathematics; and the bachelor of science in mathematics. The bachelor of arts degree affords maximum flexibility and is suitable for students planning to teach secondary mathematics or enter a professional school. For incoming freshman, the bachelor of arts degree includes a choice of a specialization in humanities for teaching. The bachelor of science degree is particularly appropriate for students who plan to obtain a scientific, industrial, actuarial, or government employment. The bachelor of science in mathematics degree has two tracks, one in pure mathematics and one in applied mathematics, and prepares students for graduate study in any area of mathematics.
