Major
Mathematics is the foundation for all science, technology and engineering.
It is an interesting major in its own right. Mathematical sophistication is a
fundamental skill for a technical society like ours. Mathematics is a major
that leads to careers in business, industry and government as well as
graduate study in a large variety of disciplines. There is plentiful demand in
the job market for individuals skilled in mathematics. This major follows the
guidelines of the Committee on Undergraduate Programs in Mathematics
established by the Mathematical Association of America.
A mathematics major has a a wide variety of job opportunities; some may
require additional education. These may range from business statistician,
credit manager, network programmer, meteorologist, financial consultant,
economist, stockbroker, robotics programmer, property appraiser or even a
software support specialist.
