professional mathematicians find employment grows continually.
This department prepares students for careers in industry,
government and education.
The M.S. in mathematics prepares students for
Ph.D. work, in addition to providing a terminal degree
for those planning to enter industry or education. The
M.A.T. degree prepares graduates to teach secondary school mathematics.
The aim of the Ph.D. program is to provide the student with the expertise
to accomplish significant research in applied or pure mathematics, as
well as to provide a broad and deep professional education.
In addition
to the major programs, the department provides a number
of service courses in support of other programs within
the university. Current and detailed information on mathematics degrees
and course offerings is available from the department.
The department maintains
a math lab for all students studying mathematics at the
baccalaureate level.
