  2. Degree Options • Our department offers both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees with concentrations in: • Actuarial Science • Applied Mathematics • Mathematics with Computer Science • Pure Mathematics • Statistics

  3. Degree Options • You can choose to work in research or use your skills in a more hands-on way. • If you think you want to go to Graduate School for Engineering or another field, earning your Bachelor’s degree in mathematics can give you a solid educational background that trains your mind to think in a very logical, scientific way – effectively preparing you for complicated Graduate work.

  4. We Use Math • The most common question students ask math teachers at every level is… When will I use math? • The video describes the importance of mathematics and many rewarding career opportunities available to students who study mathematics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aYIv4jggQJc
