Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

University of Delaware

Students pursuing the B.S. in Mathematics acquire depth in several key areas of mathematics, suitable as preparation for graduate study as well as immediate technically-oriented careers in business and government. Students interested in acquiring breadth in the liberal arts and less depth in mathematics can pursue the B.A. in Mathematics. Training in mathematics develops analytical and problem-solving skills that can be widely applied, and students with a degree in Mathematics frequently find rewarding careers that do not use the word ''mathematician'' in the job title. Our programs for the B.S. and B.A. in Mathematics are competitive with those offered at any major university. In addition to coursework, there are numerous opportunities for independent study projects and funded research collaborations with faculty. The department also mentors and supports students in rewarding international competitions such as the Putnam Exam and the Mathematical Contest in Modeling. Seniors can choose from capstone experiences in coding theory, modeling, systems biology and economics.
