The Department of Mathematics provides a curriculum for:
- Students wishing to earn an undergraduate major or minor in mathematics
- Students enrolled in elementary and secondary teacher programs
- Students interested in the applications of mathematics to the fields of computer science, statistics, engineering, physical, natural and social science, and business and economics
- Non-science majors, to educate them in the ideals and objectives of mathematics
Students who earn a degree in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences must complete the University requirements, the College requirements for their specific degree program, and their major requirements.
Area of Emphasis
Students enrolled in the B.S. in Mathematics have the opportunity to earn an Area of Emphasis in six different areas. All majors take a core selection of Mathematics courses and choosing an optional Area of Emphasis guides the choice of additional courses toward various career pathways.
- Actuarial Science
- Computational Mathematics
- Mathematical Biology
- Mathematics Education
- Physical Applied Mathematics
- Pure Mathematics
Students may not earn both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.
Minors
All students have the possibility of earning one or more minors; view a list of all available minors and their requirements here. Please note that students may not earn a minor in their major field.
