492,493 Natural Science and Mathematics Seminar Students must complete four additional MAT courses above MAT 304. A minor in mathematics is appropriate for those interested in fields where mathematical reasoning or models are relevant. These fields include natural sciences, social sciences and economics. A minor in computer science is appropriate for students who have substantial interest in mathematics, natural or social science, or business, and who intend to work in an environment in which data analysis and computers are used. Two courses from among MAT 141 and courses above MAT 202.
Teaching certification is available in mathematics.
Graduation in mathematics with honors is possible for qualified students. Opportunities available to mathematics and computer science graduates are diverse, plentiful, and rewarding. These include teaching, programming and computer systems work, scientific and engineering applications, actuarial traineeships, and statistical applications. Students may choose to continue study in graduate school fields such as mathematics, science, engineering, operations research, statistics, information systems, and business. Sometimes math majors choose a work crew totally unrelated to their major.
