Mathematics and statistics are far more than just numbers and equations鈥攖hey are powerful analytical tools that drive innovation across nearly every sector of our modern world. The mathematical sciences offer a remarkable breadth of career opportunities that extend far beyond traditional expectations, opening doors to exciting and impactful professional paths.
Our comprehensive mathematical sciences curriculum is designed to equip students with versatile, in-demand skills that are crucial in today's data-driven, technology-focused landscape. We offer specialized tracks that cater to diverse interests and career goals. See below for information about the possibilities that a degree in mathematical sciences can offer.
Whether you鈥檙e designing aircraft wings, computing the spin of a subatomic particle, optimizing circuitry, modeling the impact of pollution on an ecosystem, or creating CGI animation for the movies, a degree in mathematical sciences provides the essential tools.
Increasingly, employers in business, industry, and government (鈥淏IG鈥) are looking for people to solve problems involving complex systems, optimization, and risk analysis. A Mathematical Sciences degree can prepare you for a wide variety of careers in BIG.
We need mathematics educators who can implement new pedagogy and curriculum, and engage diverse learners. Our program prepares you to do this, and our graduates go on to become leaders in their districts and the profession.
We live in a data-driven world. Increasingly, people in science, industry, business, sports management, and government depend on statistical analysis of data to draw conclusions and make sound decisions.
An actuary is a person who works in actuarial science, which involves applying tools from mathematics, statistics, and finance to analyze financial risk, especially in the insurance industry.
While some careers are accessible with only an undergraduate degree, for an increasingly large portion of careers, a masters or doctoral degree is recommended or required. If you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree after college, discuss this with your advisor so that you can plan ahead.
In addition to adding value to your education and making you better prepared, completing two majors or a major and a minor enhances your transcript and sets you apart from the crowd. A degree in Mathematical Sciences pairs well with a wide variety of second majors and minors.
Research in the mathematical sciences is different than in other sciences. We don鈥檛 work with lab equipment or run experiments. Instead, we pose a problem, seek the solution, and justify our solution. A research experience or internship can be valuable preparation for your career.
