The Power to Tackle Big Problems

• Students regularly receive opportunities to apply classroom knowledge in practical settings such as internships and undergraduate research.
• The faculty members in our department care about the success of the students and help them reach their career goals.
• We offer undergraduate coursework in five tracks leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Statistics or a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Statistics.
• Our graduate programs include a Master of Science in Mathematics or Statistics.
• We also offer students an opportunity to meet the full requirements of the B.S. and M.S. in a shorter time period — a fast-track dual degree program — than the separate degree programs. You may complete a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Statistics in four years and the Master of Science in Mathematics or Statistics the fifth year.
• Students majoring in mathematics, statistics or another relevant area of study may minor in Mathematics or Actuarial Sciences.
• We collaborate with the School of Graduate Studies in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program for mathematics or statistics.
• We offer coursework tailored to a career in actuary science, teaching and data analysis.
