Undergraduate Programs
Skills in the mathematical sciences have become vitally important to our country and, as a result, have become valuable to the holder. Many years ago, mathematics training prepared one only for teaching or graduate school. That is no longer true. Many jobs, at attractive salaries, are now open to a person with training in the mathematics and statistics. Increasingly, industry prefers to hire people with the analytical and problem-solving skills that come from a sound training in the mathematical sciences.
See the Course Catalog for more information about the classes offered.
As of Fall 2017, all 3 digit course numbers have been renumbered to 4 digits. To find the current equivalent of a former 3 digit course, please consult your academic advisor.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need additional information or assistance. The departmental office is located on the third floor of the Mathematics and Science Center (the eight-story tower at the south end of campus), room 368. The phone number is (248) 370-3430.
