About the Program

The Mathematics Major prepares students to think critically and abstractly about topics in higher mathematics, including courses in both Algebra and Analysis, while allowing students to choose from additional courses from a wide range of topics. 

Students who wish to focus their mathematical studies more narrowly may also choose from four concentrations:

  • The Actuarial Science and Risk Management Concentration, designated as a Center of Actuarial Excellence by the Society of Actuaries, provides students a solid background in mathematics along with specialized knowledge leading to career opportunities in the actuarial and financial professions.
  • The Applied Mathematics Concentration provides a strong background in the foundations of applied mathematical methods and is designed for students who wish to apply mathematics to problems in business and industry.
  • The Pure Mathematics Concentration emphasizes abstract mathematics and provides a strong background in mathematical theory and prepares students for positions as researchers or analysts as well as for graduate study.  
  • The Mathematics Secondary Education Concentration, offered in conjunction with Towson UTeach, is designed for students who wish to become certified to teach mathematics in secondary schools.
