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

Format:

In Person

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.
A Minor in Mathematics is also available.

Quick Links

Earning a math degree will open doors for you in a wide variety of industries and career fields. The analytical and independent-thinking skills you gain will also give you an advantage when it comes to applying for jobs or graduate school.

Our graduates work in business and finance, actuarial science, computer applications, research, the military and many other fields. And if you want to be a math teacher, our graduates have posted a 100% pass rate on the Texas teacher certification test for secondary mathematics for over 20 years straight.

Program Faculty

Our small class sizes mean you really get to know your professors. You’ll also have the chance to work with them on research projects. Several of them have won teaching excellence awards from Angelo State, the Texas Tech University System and national organizations like the Carnegie Foundation.

Career Opportunities

Start your career as soon as you graduate. You can expect to have opportunities in a variety of career fields that show continued growth and increased job openings. They include teaching, many areas of business and finance, actuarial science, statistics and research, among others.
