The curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics is designed to enhance skills in critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning, research and communication skills by incorporating the breadth of a Liberal Arts degree. The mathematics faculty designed the curriculum with student success in mind. The liberal arts emphasis combined with individually focused research projects will result in well-rounded graduates having specialized skills. These strengths and skills will open doors to a wide range of jobs in finance, industry, government and education.

The curriculum encourages students to take courses in biology, chemistry, physics and environmental science. This gives students the chance to work with glaciers and marine life in one of the world's most beautiful natural laboratories - experiences that will be cherished for a lifetime. The program is designed so that it has the flexibility to enable mathematics majors to easily add a second major. This will give graduates an even wider array of employment opportunities.

In addition to interdisciplinary courses, another feature of the program is that mathematics majors participate in undergraduate research during their last two years. With the help of a faculty advisor, students design their own research programs to take advantage of their areas of strength and/or professional interest. This unique opportunity for specialization enhances graduates' likelihood of success in continuing their education or in the job market.
