• Applied Mathematics majors are interested in the classical relationships between the physical sciences and engineering. They often seek employment in industry, utilizing their skills to solve engineering and computer related problems.
• Mathematics of Computation major is designed for individuals who are interested in the mathematical theory and the applications of computing. These majors often seek employment in areas similar to the Applied Mathematicians.
• Mathematics for Teaching is a major designed for students who have a substantial interest in teaching mathematics at the secondary level.
• Mathematics/Economics B.S. degree program is designed to give students a solid foundation in both mathematics and economics, stressing those areas of mathematics and statistics that are most relevant to economics and the parts of economics that emphasize the use of mathematics and statistics. It is ideal for students who may wish to complete a higher degree in economics.
• Financial Actuarial Mathematics major is designed for students interested in working in the actuarial field or the application of mathematics, finance, and statistics. At the end of this program, students will have sufficient knowledge to pass the first four preliminary actuarial exams: P, FM, MFE and MLC. UCLA’s major is one of the more well-known ones on the west coast that is taught by current and retired actuaries.
• Mathematics/Applied Science major is intended for those students who are interested in applications of mathematics to other areas. Students majoring in Mathematics/Applied Science often pursue careers in medical professions, professional programs, or graduate programs in business or law.
