By focusing on strong analytical and
quantitative skills, the mathematical sciences programs prepare
students for professional positions in a variety of areas. The
department offers majors in actuarial science, mathematics teaching,
and mathematical sciences. The department’s minors in mathematics
and computational mathematics are open to non-departmental majors.
In conjunction with the Department of Economics, the department
offers a major in mathematical economics.
For information on the major in
mathematical economics, see Interdepartmental Programs.
The major in actuarial science provides
students with the mathematics and business education necessary to
enter the actuarial profession and prepares students for the
professional actuarial exams. Actuaries apply the theory of
probability and statistics along with the principles of finance to
analyze and solve problems in insurance, pension plans, social
security issues, and related fields.
The mathematics teaching major satisfies
state licensure requirements for students preparing to teach
mathematics in junior high/middle school and high school.
Specializations for this major are middle school and secondary
school. Elementary education majors may choose mathematics as their
area of concentration. Elementary education majors may also earn
additional licensure to teach mathematics in junior high/middle
school.
The mathematical sciences major offers
students a variety of choices, with options for specialization in
five areas: mathematics, statistics, financial mathematics, applied
mathematics-physics, and computational mathematics. These programs
prepare students for professional positions in business, industry,
and government, as well as graduate work in mathematics or related
fields, including engineering, law, or medicine.
Unless otherwise noted, all students
enrolling in courses in the Department of Mathematical Sciences are
expected to have completed at least three years of college
preparatory mathematics in high school, including two years of
algebra and one year of geometry. To begin all programs (except the
concentration in mathematics), it is expected that students will
have completed high school mathematics courses equivalent to the
prerequisite for MATHS 165.
For majors or minors in the Department
of Mathematical Sciences, a grade of C- or better must be
earned in each course serving as a prerequisite for other courses
applied to meet program requirements. For graduation, a grade-point
average of at least 2.5 is required in a minor or major program.
Departmental majors who are students in
the Honors College and have completed two Honors College colloquia
may substitute HONRS 499 for MATHS 498 upon acceptance by the
department of an extended abstract on a topic that is significantly
related to mathematics.
All majors will be required to take a
comprehensive exam designated by the department. Programs
Students will be guided by the
outline of baccalaureate Degrees, the
University Core
Curriculum, and the
concentration areas listed below.

Students may earn up to 6 credits for MATHS 355, but only 4 credits
will apply toward the actuarial science major. The following
additional courses are strongly recommended, as they satisfy the
"Validation by Educational Experience" requirements of the actuarial
societies: ACC 201, ECON 201, ECON 202, MATHS 428 or ECON 424, FIN
300 and one from MATHS 454; FIN 310 or MATHS 655. Other electives
from the graduate actuarial science courses, business and economics
are encouraged. Students are encouraged to take CS 120 and PHYCS
120. PHYCS 120 satisfies the physical science requirement in the
University Core Curriculum. This program leads to a bachelor of
science degree only. |
