Mathematics plays a crucial role across various disciplines, from natural sciences and engineering to medicine, finance, computer science, and social sciences. Certain mathematical branches like statistics and game theory evolve alongside their practical uses, frequently categorized as applied mathematics. Academic pathways encompass applied and theoretical mathematics, operations research, statistics, and actuarial studies.
At the graduate level, students specialize in computational operations research, a program overseen by the Computer Science Department.
Pre-College Mathematics Teaching Specialization
Those pursuing secondary mathematics certification should reach out to the School of Education early in their academic journey. You and your mathematics advisor must meticulously design your course schedule starting from sophomore year to ensure completion of necessary coursework. This planning is essential since the teacher certification program demands full commitment during the final spring semester, and some courses are only available biennially.
