Mathematicians seek out patterns, construct rigorous arguments, articulate assumptions, appreciate the value of a precise definition, analyze mathematical models, and create beautiful structures. Statisticians produce trustworthy data, extract meaning and draw practical conclusions from data, test conjectures, provide mathematical evidence, and critique the reasoning of others. In both cases, these skills have a surprising ability to help make sense of the physical, biological, artistic, psychological, economic, social, and philosophical worlds. As a consequence, quantitative expertise is in high demand on the job market. Moreover, rankings of occupations invariably list multiple careers in mathematics and statistics among the very best.

Specialization in Biology and Mathematics

An intensive course of study with approximately two-thirds of your courses within the discipline with a combination of courses within Biology.

Specialization in Mathematical Physics

An intensive course of study with approximately two-thirds of your courses within the discipline.

Major in Mathematics or Statistics

A major is an intensive course of study in one discipline, with approximately half of your courses within the discipline with room for an optional minor in any other Arts and Science discipline.

Minor in Mathematics or Statistics

A minor is a less intensive course of study in the discipline that must be combined with a major in another discipline.

Undergraduate Course Highlights

Mathematics and Statistics courses are taught to students throughout the university, not just in Arts and Science. Popular upper-level courses include Computational Data Analysis, Evolutionary Game Theory, Group Theory, Life Contingencies, and Modeling Techniques in Biology, Real Analysis, and an Introduction to Coding Theory.
