The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers the B.A. and B.S. degrees with a major in mathematics and the B.S. degree with a major in statistics. There is a program for a major in mathematics that qualifies a student for initial teaching licensure. A concentration in computational sciences is also available. Minors are offered in both mathematics and statistics. The Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies (IDLS) major is recommended for students interested in early or middle grades education and requires a collection of lower-division courses along with two upper-level concentrations. We also offer an algebra I add-on endorsement for IDLS majors.
The Department has four specialty areas, listed below. There are courses for the majors and minors that would be particularly relevant to each of these areas, and there are several faculty with active research programs in each area.
