Mathematics

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Mathematics

Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Mathematics

B.A., B.S. or B.I.S. in Mathematics with Secondary Teacher Certification

About the Program

What’s the difference, you ask? The B.A. plan requires fewer science courses and more in the humanities. The B.S. plan features additional science courses. Both plans also offer a teacher certification option.
Gain practical experience by acting as a tutor or peer mentor. You can also participate in our weekly Math Seminar and join one or more of our student organizations for networking, field trips and social events.
You may also be interested in a degree in interdisciplinary studies to earn a B.I.S. in mathematics with secondary teacher certification.
