性奴调教

Mathematics emphasizes careful reasoning, along with the analysis and solution of problems. A Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics听from 性奴调教 will appeal to students who like to develop their problem-solving and analytical-thinking skills. For this reason, mathematics is also an appropriate major for 性奴调教 students planning careers in law or medicine.

Program Highlights

• 性奴调教鈥檚 mathematics program combines the features of both small and large schools to create a compelling educational experience. Students can expect a student-friendly environment, with math courses for majors being small in size and taught by regular faculty. Faculty get to know students and provide individual attention.听
• Students are recruited for participation in math contests and other opportunities, including part-time positions as graders, tutors and learning assistants.
• Like a large school鈥檚 program, math at 性奴调教 also has enough breadth to let students tailor their upper-division math courses to their interests and goals.
• Students interested in pure mathematics can choose theoretical courses that provide solid preparation for graduate school.
• A Bachelor of Science in Math is also available.听

Curriculum Overview

性奴调教's Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics is designed to meet the needs of students with a wide variety of interests. All mathematics majors complete a core of six required courses and then choose elective courses to tailor the program of study to meet their individual goals.

Along with the standard program of study for the B.A. in Mathematics, the department also offers a concentration in statistics and a teachers option. The concentration in statistics is designed to prepare students for careers in industry or for graduate study in statistics or data science. The teachers option requires students to choose courses that meet the requirements for state certification in mathematics.

Teachers Option

For students planning a career in secondary education, 性奴调教's math degree offers an option featuring courses that meet the requirements for state certification in mathematics.

Concentration in Statistics

The concentration in statistics is for students who plan to pursue a career in analyzing data.

Fieldwork and Research Opportunities

The 性奴调教 Mathematics and Computer Science Club gives students interested in mathematics and computer science a chance to explore relevant topics outside of the classroom. The club holds weekly meetings that bring students and faculty together for various activities, including mathematical puzzles, integration bees, game beta testing and career-focused presentations by industry experts.

Careers

Graduates in mathematics and statistics are versatile. They enter jobs in business, industry, medicine, government and education. Mathematicians, statisticians, data scientists, actuaries, analysts and consultants are in high demand and lead rewarding and well-compensated careers.

Many of our graduates pursue advanced degrees in mathematics, statistics or other fields. Students with mathematics and statistics degrees are attractive to professional graduate schools in law, medicine and business for their analytical skills and the ability to work in a problem-solving environment.

Some of the industry and government employers where our graduates have found success include:

• Allstate
• Ameren
• Boeing
• Booz Allen Hamilton Consulting
• Boston Scientific
• Cofactor Genomics
• Georgia-Pacific
• Kemper Insurance

• MetLife
• Milliman
• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
• National Security Agency
• NISA Investment Advisors
• Varsity Tutors

Admission Requirements

Begin Your Application

性奴调教 also accepts the Common Application.

Freshman

All applications are thoroughly reviewed with the highest degree of individual care and consideration to all credentials that are submitted. Solid academic performance in college preparatory coursework is a primary concern in reviewing a freshman applicant鈥檚 file.

To be considered for admission to any 性奴调教 undergraduate program, applicants must be graduating from an accredited high school, have an acceptable HiSET exam score or take the General Education Development (GED) test.听

Transfer

Applicants must be a graduate of an accredited high school or have an acceptable score on the GED.

Students who have attempted fewer than 24 semester credits (or 30 quarter credits) of college credit must follow the above freshmen admission requirements. Students who have completed 24 or more semester credits (or 30 quarter credits) of college credit must听submit transcripts from all previously attended college(s).

In reviewing a transfer applicant鈥檚 file, the Office of Admission holistically examines the student鈥檚 academic performance in college-level coursework as an indicator of the student鈥檚 ability to meet the academic rigors of 性奴调教. Where applicable, transfer students will be evaluated on any courses outlined in the continuation standards of their preferred major.

International Applicants

All admission policies and requirements for domestic students apply to international students along with the following:

• Demonstrate English Language Proficiency
• Proof of financial support must include:
  • A letter of financial support from the person(s) or sponsoring agency funding the time at 性奴调教
  • A letter from the sponsor's bank verifying that the funds are available and will be so for the duration of study at the University
• Academic records, in English translation, of students who have undertaken post-secondary studies outside the United States must include the courses taken and/or lectures attended, practical laboratory work, the maximum and minimum grades attainable, the grades earned or the results of all end-of-term examinations, and any honors or degrees received. WES and ECE transcripts are accepted.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

There are two principal ways to help finance a 性奴调教 education:

• Scholarships: Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, service, leadership and financial need.
• Financial Aid: Financial aid is provided through grants and loans, some of which require repayment.

性奴调教 makes every effort to keep our education affordable. In fiscal year 2023, 99% of first-time freshmen and 92% of all students received financial aid and students received more than $459 million in aid University-wide.

For priority consideration for merit-based scholarships, apply for admission by December 1 and complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 1.

For more information on scholarships and financial aid, visit the Office of Student Financial Services.
