Mathematics is the universal language essential to formulate and express ideas in science and engineering. As our society becomes more sophisticated and technical, mathematics is playing increasingly important roles in other areas such as business and the social sciences. As probably the oldest and most basic science, it provides the foundation for the major technological achievements of our time.
Programs in Mathematical Sciences
Students seeking a degree in mathematics may choose from three specializations. This flexibility allows students to better adapt their educational experience to further their academic goals.
Mathematics Specialization: For students interested in a career in mathematics and for those who choose to continue their education at the graduate level in mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematics education or disciplines that use mathematics, such as statistics and actuarial science.
Statistics Specialization: For students interested in probability and statistical models and their use in data analysis and decision-making and those interested in pursuing graduate education in statistics or data science.
Applied Mathematics Specialization: For students interested in mathematics for the purpose of using it broadly in various application areas and for students interested in pursuing graduate work in applied mathematics or related disciplines such as engineering.
Students interested in obtaining both a BS or BA in mathematics and teacher certification in the state of Texas should consult the UTeach Dallas or the Teacher Development Center for specific requirements as soon as possible after formal admission to the University.
