The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in mathematical theory, problem-solving skills, and mathematical applications. This undergraduate degree program offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers a wide range of mathematical topics, equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for careers in many government and private-sector fields, including statistics, data analysis, actuarial science, data science, and risk analysis. It also prepares students for graduate studies in mathematics and math education, including an optional accelerated pathway to earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics followed by a Master of Arts in Teaching from the UWG College of Education.
Learning Outcomes:
- Students will demonstrate ability to perform a sustained investigation into a specific mathematical problem or topic, and effectively communicate their findings orally and in writing.
- Students will demonstrate a thorough understanding of the calculus, including its computational aspects, applications, and theoretical foundations.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to read, write, and understand mathematical proofs involving foundational aspects of mathematics.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to utilize statistical methods to analyze real-world problems and draw inferences about a studied population using collected sample data.
