Department of Mathematics & Statistics

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers degree curricula in Mathematics and in Applied Mathematics (with three options), an Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s program in Data Science, as well as a minor in Mathematics and a minor in Statistics. Majors acquire a firm foundation in mathematics preparing them for further study, or for careers in mathematics or statistics and related fields. For a minor in MATH or STAT see the “Minors” section.

This curriculum of Mathematics provides students with a general background in Mathematics preparing them for graduate studies in Mathematics, or careers that require mathematical knowledge and problem-solving skills, and is well suited for students who wish to pursue career in teaching Mathematics in a university/college, or who desire more flexibility or emphasis in liberal arts.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers three options in the field of Applied Mathematics. The option in Applied Mathematics is suitable for students who are preparing for graduate work in mathematics, or applied mathematics, as well as for those anticipating careers which require proficiency with the methods of applied mathematics such as engineering, physical sciences, computer science, and the allied fields of biological, behavioral, or managerial sciences.

The option in Actuarial Science offers a well-balanced curriculum in applied mathematics with advanced preparation for the actuarial profession. It prepares students for a career in the insurance industry and in other businesses relying on the expertise of actuaries. An increasing number of actuaries work in the broader financial services sector including commercial and investment banking and retirement funds. Actuaries are also employed by corporations, as well as by state and federal governments. This program offers courses with syllabi that closely match those for exams offered by the Society of Actuaries required for professional designations. The curriculum for the Actuarial Science option is flexible enough to allow its graduates to enter graduate programs in mathematics and related fields.

The option in Applied Discrete Mathematics prepares students for graduate work in mathematics or theoretical computer science, and for careers in industry supported by discrete mathematics dealing with problems in graph theory, operations research, discrete optimization, computer science, communications and information sciences.

The Accelerated Bachelors/Master’s Degree in Data Science is available for students pursuing the option in Applied Discrete Mathematics. The students can take up to nine (9) hours of MATH/STAT coursework at the 6000-level (i.e., MATH 6XX0 and/or STAT 6XX0 electives) while classified as an undergraduate and have it applied to both the student's undergraduate degree and master’s degree. After completing the requirements for the undergraduate degree, the student then completes the remaining requirements of the MS-DS degree.

Starting with the Fall 2015 semester, incoming students are required to earn a “C” or better in certain prerequisites to take the follow-on course. The follow-on courses are: Pre-Calculus Algebra and Trigonometry, Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III.

Students should consult the departmental advisor to determine appropriate technical electives for the emphasis of their choice.
