About Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences

Study Mathematical Sciences at the University of Montana

Earn your degree in math and open a door to unlimited possibilities. Mathematics is the ultimate problem-solving tool, and it's used in virtually every profession – from real estate to finance, business to biology, computer science to rocket science. It's a universal language that's understood across nations and cultures, so you can apply it anywhere you go. Studying math also helps you build creative and analytical skills that are prized by employers.

As a math major at UM, you'll explore mathematical sciences in all its many forms: from the pure and applied to statistics and data science. Many of our more applied courses introduce you to coding and develop your programming skills. You can also obtain a certificate in big data analytics by taking several specialized courses in the theory and practice of data science.

Our math program is small enough that you get to work closely with faculty, but large enough that we offer many opportunities for research and real-world learning. We also offer several areas for specialization: applied mathematics, combinatorics and optimization, mathematics education, pure mathematics, and statistics and data science.
