Overview:
Majors gain traditional problem solving skills, a strong background in mathematical theory and knowledge of new mathematical tools that technology has given us and continues to give us. Graduates of the Department of Mathematics follow a variety of paths. Many go on to graduate schools, where they have earned degrees in mathematics, physics, computer science, education, business or engineering at schools including MU, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Washington University, the University of Michigan, Purdue, Princeton, the University of Illinois and others.
Many have chosen careers in business or industry, while others have pursued industrial careers in fields closely related to mathematics, such as computer science, statistics, finance or actuarial science.
The BA requires the student to take more courses in behavioral and social sciences, humanties and fine arts, as well as foreign-language courses. The BA degree is intended for students seeking a traditional liberal arts education with a math concentration. The BS requires the student to take more courses in math and science which prepares them for professional opportunities or graduate study.
