If you find beauty in the theory of mathematics, learn how the Comprehensive emphasis can prepare you for graduate studies in math and science. Mathematicians can work as university professors, teaching and doing research, or in a variety of scientific fields. The Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with a Comprehensive emphasis serves as a launching pad for students wishing to attain a graduate degree in mathematics, mathematics education or applied math. Undergraduates immerse themselves in the study of abstract algebra, mathematical analysis and more. They learn to apply rigorous logic and creativity to mathematical problems. In addition, they must complete a minor outside of the Department of Mathematics. Students who major in comprehensive mathematics and another field should be well-prepared for graduate studies in either field.

Immerse yourself in the Spanish language while learning various cultures through the ages via Hispanic the Literature emphasis.
