Undergraduate Programs
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers full-time undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences and the Post-Baccalaureate Undergraduate Certificate in Statistics. The bachelor's program has concentrations in applied mathematics, biomathematics, general mathematical sciences, mathematics, operations research, statistics and secondary teacher preparation.
The teacher preparation concentration offers, in partnership with the School of Education, a five-year program leading to both an undergraduate major in mathematics and a master’s degree in education. Our department offers accelerated B.S. and M.S. programs in four additional mathematical sciences concentrations.
Students may also be interested in a mathematics minor to supplement another major.
In addition, we offer service courses for departments throughout the university, and courses which enable students to fulfill their mathematical general education requirements. We teach nearly 10,000 students every year, but we have only about 200 majors, allowing students frequent interaction with faculty as well as an up-close view of some of the rewards, excitement and opportunities available to mathematicians.

Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
The curriculum in mathematical sciences promotes understanding of the mathematical sciences and their structures, uses, and relationships to other disciplines.
Undergraduate Certificate in Statistics
The post-baccalaureate undergraduate certificate in statistics is accessible to persons with undergraduate majors in engineering, natural sciences, economics and other sciences, as well as to traditional mathematical sciences majors.
Minor in Mathematics
The minor in mathematics is designed for students with an interest in mathematics to deepen their knowledge of the subject while pursuing a major in another field. The goal is to provide students who do not major in mathematics the opportunity to develop the significant mathematical and analytical reasoning skills that the study of mathematics promotes.
Accelerated B.S. and M.S.
The accelerated B.S. and M.S. program allows qualified students in the mathematics concentration to earn both the B.S. in mathematical sciences and the M.S. in mathematical sciences with a concentration in mathematics in a minimum of five years by completing approved graduate courses during the senior year of their undergraduate program.
