Undergraduate Programs of Study
Welcome to the Undergraduate Program!
Chairperson: Dr. Helen M. Roberts
Advisor: George Grover
The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics and the Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics. In particular, the Department offers a major in Mathematics, a major in Mathematics with a concentration in Applied Mathematics, major in Mathematics with a concentration in the Mathematics of Finance, a major in Mathematics with a concentration in Statistics, and a major in Mathematics with certification as a teacher of mathematics, a major in Physics, a major in Physics with a concentration in Astronomy, a major in Physics with certification as teacher of Physics, a major in Physics with certification as a teacher of physical science, a minor in Mathematics, and a minor in Physics. There are honor programs in Mathematics and Physics for qualified students.
The programs introduce central ideas in a variety of areas in Mathematics and Physics, and develop problem-solving ability by teaching students to combine critical thinking with rigorous reasoning. The Mathematics program provides students with a spectrum of courses in pure and applied mathematics and develops rigorous mathematical thinking.
A Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics is one of the most versatile degrees available. Many of the graduates with this degree have found their talents in great demand in business, industry, government, and in the teaching profession. This versatility allows graduates in Mathematics to adjust to any unexpected shift in demand from one of these areas to another. All majors prepare students for graduate study.
The coordinator of undergraduate advising is the department's resource for specific information such as advanced placement, transfer credits, dual majors, Cooperative Education, and independent study.
