Actuarial Science Actuarial Science
Actuarial science is a specialization in the mathematics major tailored to students interested in a career as an insurance or pension actuary. The specialization focuses on a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques that make it possible to calculate the monetary value of uncertain future events.
Quality classroom experiences
Mathematics and statistics courses introduce new ways of thinking and develop discipline in carefully expressing these thoughts through problem solutions or carefully written arguments. Beginning with calculus, all mathematics courses are taught in small sections to ensure an appropriate level of personal attention. Students utilize various software tools that are available in the Math Science Computer Lab and in other computer labs across campus.
Applied Mathematics Applied Mathematics
Mathematics drives developments in telecommunications, medicine, computers, finance, insurance, car and airplane design, and weather forecasting. Students in the mathematics major learn a wide range of abstract mathematical concepts and their many applications. The Bachelor of Science in mathematics with the applied mathematics specialization emphasizes scientific computing and modeling.
