Mathematicians think critically, reason logically and solve problems. These are skills that many employers find highly desirable, but it is not all about jobs and money. Mathematics is a natural human activity practiced by many cultures for thousands of years.

What Will I Learn?

The required math courses are designed to give you a solid foundation. There is plenty of room in the program for elective math and non-math courses that interest you.
