These are the classic building blocks that ensure career versatility in an ever-changing world. The mathematics program offers numerous options. Students may pursue a traditional course of study in theoretical mathematics for graduate study or for teaching mathematics at the secondary school level. Students may instead elect to study topics in applied mathematics for careers as working mathematicians. Students may also combine studies in both theory and applied mathematics, enabling them to design their programs based on individual interests and career goals.
