Program Summary
The Mathematics with Pure Math Emphasis major is designed for those planning on graduate work in quantitative fields or as preparation for professional careers in business, law, and medicine. Required and elective courses prepare students to be successful in graduate programs in mathematics, statistics, physics, economics, and many other related fields. Because graduates have strong problem-solving and quantitative skills, it is an excellent pre-professional major for law or medical fields and is valued by employers in business and industry.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Use standard mathematical techniques to solve computational problems.
- Demonstrate knowledge of fundamental mathematical concepts and results in the core content areas.
- Use content knowledge to solve applied and real-world mathematical problems.
- Communicate mathematics effectively using proper notation and terminology.
- Use logical reasoning to construct clear and concise mathematical proofs.
Program Information
- All courses must be passed with a “C” (2.0) or better to be counted in the major.
Program Prerequisites
The Department of Mathematics strongly recommends that students complete the following courses as part of their General Education , as they are prerequisites for required major courses and/or requirements for graduation. Students who do not complete these courses as part of General Education can potentially add additional credits and time to their degree. These courses may or may not need to be taken before starting any major courses; consult a Student Success Advisor for details.
* Note: Students who are not prepared for this math course may need additional math credits/preparation. Please consult your Student Success Advisor for more information.
