1. The Mathematics Major

This option allows students to specialize or to acquire a broad mathematical background, by selecting from various areas of mathematics such as linear algebra, abstract algebra, analysis, applied mathematics, differential equations, number theory, numerical analysis, and probability & statistics.

 

2. The Mathematics Major with Actuarial Emphasis

This option allows students to specialize in those mathematical areas with particular value to actuarial science. A strong mathematics background in linear algebra, applied mathematics, numerical analysis, actuarial science, and probability & statistics. Successful completion of one of the SOA examinations is required for the emphasis.

 

3. The Mathematics Major for Teaching Certification

This option is structured to ensure that the students satisfy the requirements for secondary teacher certification by selecting courses from the areas of abstract algebra, geometry, discrete mathematics, history of mathematics, and probability & statistics.
