Mathematical Sciences (BS)

The Mathematical Sciences major is a springboard for students to pursue successful careers and graduate study in fields like statistics, scientific programming, public health, applied mathematics and teaching. Students will become fluent in at least two computer languages (R and Python) and will be prepared for careers applying mathematics, statistics and modeling in many STEM industries.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Know the fundamental concepts/content/techniques from discrete and continuous mathematics.

  2. Know the fundamental concepts/content/techniques from descriptive and inferential statistics and probability.

  3. Apply the content/techniques from mathematics & statistics to to solve “real world problems.”

  4. Analyze problems to find the critical variables and use math and stats to build and interpret models.

  5. Communicate precisely, and clearly including written, oral, and visual presentations.

  6. Use computing tools effectively and appropriately.
