New York colleges that awarded Mathematics credentials

84 colleges in New York reported conferring Mathematics credentials to the federal IPEDS collection in 2023-24, and every one of them also awarded in the year before. 84 awarded a degree. That is a record of credentials already awarded, not confirmation that a program is currently admitting.

Colleges and what they awarded

Largest first by credentials conferred in 2023-24. That order measures the size of the graduating class and nothing else: it is not a ranking, and the largest entry is often a certificate provider rather than the strongest degree program. The credential is labelled on every row for exactly that reason.

Looking for Mathematics programs in New York? This page lists every college that reported awarding Mathematics credentials to the federal government in 2023-24 — 84 of them — with the credential level each one awarded. That is a record of credentials conferred, not a confirmation that a college is currently admitting students, so confirm current availability with the college before it changes where you apply.

New York colleges conferred 1,791 Mathematics credentials in 2023-24, which is 7.1% of the 25,320 conferred across the 51 U.S. jurisdictions reporting any. Of the 84 colleges here, every one awarded a degree. These counts measure the size of graduating classes, not program quality, and not how many students are currently enrolled.

What level those credentials were

  • Associate2%34
  • Bachelor's84%1,511
  • Graduate14%246

Most Mathematics credentials awarded in New York were bachelor's degrees. That is 16 percentage points more weighted toward bachelor's degrees than the field nationally, where they are 68% of credentials. A certificate is a different credential from a degree, not a lesser one, and the level a program awards is set by the program rather than by the student.

We measured how much this varies nationwide, and for most fields the credential level is set by the field rather than the state: is your major a certificate or a degree?

How concentrated it is. The single college with the largest reported graduating class in this field accounted for 12% of New York’s Mathematics credentials. Activity is spread across several institutions rather than sitting with one.

What these New York colleges cost

Median net price across the 82 of these 84 colleges that report it, by family income. Net price is what students receiving federal aid actually paid for the WHOLE college after grants and scholarships, so it is not the price of a Mathematics program specifically, and not a quote for any family.

By the kind of college

The figure above averages very different institutions together. Split by federal sector, for a family earning under $30,000:

Median net price for a family earning under $30,000, by kind of college, among New York colleges that reported awarding Mathematicscredentials.
Kind of collegeCollegesMedian net price
Public two-year10$4,389
Public four-year25$9,524
Private47$17,789

Sector is the federal classification (IPEDS ICLEVEL and CONTROL). Private covers both nonprofit and for-profit colleges, which CampusPin does not split here because the for-profit sample in a single state is usually too small to publish a median. Each row needs at least five colleges reporting net price, so a sector with fewer is left out rather than estimated.

A family earning under $30,000 paid a median of $12,830 at these colleges, against $26,770 for a family earning over $110,000. Individual colleges vary widely around these medians. See every New York college by income band.

What this evidence does and does not prove

This lists colleges that reported conferring credentials in this field to the federal IPEDS completions collection, in both 2022-23 and 2023-24. It does not confirm that any of them is currently admitting students to the program, and a college can appear here after deciding to close it. Confirm with the institution before it affects where you apply.

How this list was built

From the U.S. Department of Education IPEDS completions collection, matched to each college on its exact federal program classification. A college appears only if it conferred credentials in both 2022-23 and 2023-24, which is what separates a running program from one that has already closed.

This page exists because its list of colleges is materially different from that of every closely related field in New York — the fields a reader could otherwise mistake it for, such as two engineering disciplines, or nursing and practical nursing. Where a related field resolves to the same colleges, the second page would be the first one with its title changed, and CampusPin does not publish it. Sharing colleges with an unrelated field is different, and not a reason to withhold the page: in most states the same colleges award business, psychology and biology alike, which says something about the colleges rather than about the fields. We measured exactly how often that happens, and published the result: does choosing a major narrow your college list?

What Mathematics graduates go on to do

Occupations the federal CIP–SOC crosswalk associates with Mathematics, ordered by projected annual openings. National figures: openings and pay do not vary by where you studied, and the crosswalk describes related fields rather than a required or guaranteed path.
