Compared to the Statistics program, coursework is more theoretical. This is because mathematical techniques are used in an increasing number of fields. Many employers and graduate schools recognize that knowledge of Mathematics is crucial for success in many areas. Many Mathematics majors choose to continue their studies beyond the undergraduate level. This gives them preparation for teaching and research and advanced technical positions in industry.
Most graduate students can obtain teaching positions which pay graduate school expenses.
Secondary Mathematics Education Statistics Undergraduate Research Northwest is proud of its Undergraduate Research program because at many colleges and universities, research opportunities are reserved for graduate students. Getting involved is fairly simple. To do so, one must discuss his or her topic with a faculty member. Then, it must be approved by a committee. Recently, a Mathematics student researched the use of a Math computer software program in Math education.
