Requirements

Majors may earn either a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree or a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree through the Mathematics department. Bachelor of Arts degrees are offered with majors in Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Mathematics, and Mathematics (teacher concentration). Bachelor of Science degrees are offered with majors in Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Mathematics (teacher concentration).
