The Mathematics major program is designed to train students in mathematical techniques, applications of mathematics, critical thinking and problem solving skills. This training not only prepares the students for the world of work in industry, education, and government where numerical techniques are required, but also to pursue higher studies in pure or applied mathematics. The students can take other courses, which will be treated as electives to complete the minimum requirement of 122 hours for graduation. A grade of C or better is required for all MAT courses in the major.
