Program description
Learn about practical uses in a variety of fields, including physical and life sciences, finance and economics, computing and information theory, social sciences, and even fine arts. Gain a grasp of math as the science of patterns, which have evolved from roots in basic arithmetic to a complex language.Mathematics is studied for its beauty and elegance, but it also opens the door to a wide range of fascinating and lucrative job opportunities.
You will develop the skills that employers seek in decision-making, critical thinking, problem-solving, self-learning, group work, leadership, global competency, ethics, communication, and the ability to implement knowledge in real-world situations.
Employers prefer entry-level candidates with some work experience, so undergraduate research, co-op work placements, practicums, field schools, service learning, and study abroad are all viable options.
