What you'll study in a Mathematics program

  • Calculus I–III, multivariable calculus
  • Linear algebra
  • Abstract algebra
  • Real and complex analysis
  • Probability and statistics
  • Differential equations
  • Topology or numerical analysis (track-dependent)
  • Senior thesis

Where a Mathematics degree can lead

  • Actuary
  • Quantitative Analyst
  • Data Scientist
  • Software Engineer
  • Cryptographer
  • Mathematician (PhD, academia)

Typical pay: $62,000–$110,000 early-career (BLS mathematician median $116,440)

A Mathematics major covers calculus, linear algebra, abstract algebra, real and complex analysis, topology, differential equations, and an applied or pure track. Most BS programs require a senior research thesis. BS programs often allow specialization in Applied Math, Pure Math, Statistics, Actuarial Science, or Mathematical Computing.

Math graduates work in actuarial science (one of the highest-paid bachelor's pathways), finance, software engineering, data science, operations research, cryptography, and academia. Math pairs naturally with Computer Science, Economics, or Physics for double majors.
