Founded in 1867, Howard University's Mathematics Department now provides undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree programs. For those considering mathematics as their major, an actuarial science focus equips students with the statistical skills needed for insurance risk assessment and premium calculations. The mathematics education track readies graduates to teach math in K-12 schools.
The pure and applied mathematics concentration, following a more classical approach, typically appeals to students aiming for advanced mathematics degrees or careers as mathematicians in governmental and industrial settings.
