Degree options

As a math major in specialization in applied statistics, you will be able to choose (with help from your advisor, of course!) whether a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science fits your goals best.

While the core mathematics courses are the same, the specific degree requirements vary. A bachelor of science in mathematics requires a 30-hour concentration from the natural sciences: biology, chemistry, physics & astronomy, or computer information science. A bachelor of art requires modern language study and more hours from the humanities and social sciences.
