    Bachelor of Mathematics at Clark University

    Study Mathematics at Clark University, a Bachelor degree offered at its main campus in Worcester , United States of America. This Full Time program is delivered on campus in English and takes approximately 4 years to complete. Students benefit from a structured learning experience designed to build both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. The next intake is scheduled for August 29, 2027.

    About Bachelor of Mathematics


    In keeping with liberal-arts traditions, Clarks mathematics major provides a solid education in mathematical principles for students who wish to apply mathematics in other fields and students who wish to pursue mathematics in graduate school. Clark mathematics majors have gone on to graduate school in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and computer science at such universities as Brown, Cornell, NYU (Courant Institute), and Stonybrook. Graduates are employed in the public and private sectors as statisticians, mathematical modellers and actuaries, as well as mathematics teachers at all levels.

    Mathematics Placement Test


    All students who intend to enroll in an introductory mathematics course (with the exception of students with advanced-placement credit in calculus) must take the mathematics placement test given during preregistration. Based on placement test scores, students are placed into Precalculus, Calculus, or Honors Calculus. Students may challenge their placement by taking a backup placement test once.

    Calculus


    Calculus is an essential tool for every serious student of mathematics, natural sciences, computer science and economics. The Department of Mathematics recommends that students with quantitative skills take Calculus in their first year.

    Two Calculus tracks are open to students with appropriate scores on the Mathematics Placement Test: the regular track MATH 120  -MATH 121  , and the Honors track MATH 124  -MATH 125  . Both tracks start in the Fall. Students who do not place into Calculus, but place into Precalculus (MATH 119  ), can start with MATH 119 to prepare for Calculus and continue with MATH 120 the following year.

    Regular Calculus, MATH 120  -MATH 121  , is geared toward students interested in the natural and social sciences who do not plan to take any mathematics courses at a higher level.

    Honors Calculus (MATH 124   -MATH 125   ) is the more theoretical track and prepares students for intermediate and upper level mathematics classes. It is therefore recommended that students with a strong mathematics background, who intend to take higher-level mathematics classes in the future, start with MATH 124 -MATH 125. We encourage students to take the honors calculus sequence to develop deep mathematical thinking skills and rigorous proof-writing techniques.

    Students with a sufficiently high score on the AP (AB) Calculus test receive credit for MATH 120. This credit fulfills the prerequisite for MATH 121, but not for MATH 125. It is recommended that those students start with MATH 124 and continue into MATH 125 if they are interested in taking higher-level mathematics classes in the future.

    Students with a sufficiently high score on the AP (AB/BC) Calculus test receive credit for MATH 121 and may continue with MATH 130. In exceptional circumstances, first-year students without credit for MATH 121 may enroll in MATH 130 with permission of the instructor.

     

    Requirements and Admission Criteria for Bachelor of Mathematics at Clark University

    Entry Requirements

    International students applying to Clark must submit their applications through the Common Application. Official transcripts covering the student’s prior three (full) years of education must be submitted by the student’s school. Two letters of recommendation are required, one from an academic teacher and one from a school counselor.

    All applicants whose first language is not English are required to submit evidence of English proficiency either through the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or Duolingo, regardless of the length of time they have spent in the United States. The Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20) necessary to obtain a student visa will be granted only after full admission and receipt of complete financial documentation (in the form of an official bank statement reflecting the student’s family’s financial resources).

    To apply to a School of Professional Studies Bachelor of Science degree program, please submit the following:

    • Completed online application
    • Personal essay
    • $75 non-refundable application fee (international students only)
    • Official high school transcript or equivalent (unless high school completion is noted on a college transcript)
      • In lieu of a high school transcript, transfer students can submit an official copy of their domestic college transcript in combination with our Attestation Form.  This will waive the need for a high school transcript submission.)
    • English proficiency exam scores. Required for international applicants whose native language is not English: TOEFL 80 | IELTS 6.5 | PTE 51.

    English Program Requirements

    If English is not your native language, you will need to submit an official TOEFL, Duolingo, or IELTS  score report. We do not have minimum scores for any test. We will consider your English proficiency holistically, based on your scores, transcript, essay, and letters of recommendation.

    We strongly encourage all applicants to sit for an interview. This is especially important for applicants who do not speak English as a native language. Test scores only tell us so much; we want to give you the opportunity to tell your own story. Your options for an interview are:

    • Email your admissions counselor to request a Skype interview with a current Clark student.
    • Schedule an interview as part of a campus visit.
    • Send us an interview from Vericant or InitialView.

    If we determine that you are academically qualified to attend Clark, but could use additional language support, we will refer you to our English for Academic Success Program or Undergraduate Pathway Programs. Depending on your level of English proficiency, you would spend between one and four semesters in this program before joining the undergraduate degree program. You would not need to take the TOEFL or IELTS again after finishing the program.
