It also will be necessary for you to refer to the Undergraduate Catalog or a departmental brochure for course descriptions. The program in mathematics leads to a degree of Bachelor of Science in mathematics and offers students training in mathematics and statistics in preparation for graduate work, teaching and positions in government or industry. See our career opportunities page. Mathematical training is integrated with the computer use in several courses. Because a strong mathematical background is important in several fields, over a third of UMCP mathematics majors are double majors.
Additional information is available on the undergraduate mathematics website.
For the description of all campus courses see Chapter 8 of the Online Undergraduate Catalog. There are two tracks for the major, the Traditional Track and the Secondary Education Track. The latter is for students seeking to become certified to teach mathematics at the secondary level. There is currently pending in PCC a third track which will have an emphasis in Statistics. It should be approved by the end of the current semester, Spring 2001.
