The program in mathematics leads to a degree of Bachelor of Science in mathematics and offers students training in preparation for graduate work, teaching, and positions in government or industry.
Mathematical training is integrated with 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 on these topics and mathematics is available from the department website. 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. Each mathematics major must complete each required course with a grade of C or better.
