Mathematics, B.A.
Download PDF(33 credits)
The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics provides students with a strong foundation in mathematical theory, quantitative reasoning, and analytical problem-solving. Through coursework in pure and applied mathematics, students develop the knowledge and technical skills to analyze complex problems, interpret data, and apply mathematical principles across scientific, technological, economic, and social contexts.
Students strengthen their critical thinking, computational, and communication skills while preparing for careers in data science, actuarial science, finance, operations research, education, healthcare analytics, government, technology, and related fields. The program also provides an excellent foundation for graduate study in mathematics, statistics, data science, computer science, and other quantitative disciplines.
The Mathematics major satisfies the educational requirements for students pursuing Albertus Magnus College's undergraduate Initial Teacher Preparation Program leading to the Mathematics, 4–12 (029) endorsement.
