Our department offers a variety of degrees that suit the diverse interests of our students. They range from our primary major with tracks in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, or statistics to our joint majors in economics and mathematics; mathematics and computer science; mathematics and mathematics education; mathematics and philosophy; mathematics and physics; and statistics and computer science. We invite you to explore the range of programs we offer.<\/p>\n
The Major in Mathematics<\/a> is the primary major of our department. When choosing this major, students must also choose one of the below three tracks. Although all are technically \u201cMajors in Mathematics,\u201d students often refer to (1) as the \u201cPure Math Major,\u201d to (2) as the “Applied Math Major,” and to (3) as the \u201cStatistics Major.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Please note that our major was revised for the 2022-2023 academic year. Students who declared their math major prior to Fall 22 can continue to follow the old combined Pure and Applied Math track<\/a> if they wish. (But they may also switch to the current version of the major if they like.)<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n Our department also offers six majors jointly with other departments in CAS. These are not double majors; they are single majors that draw on coursework from two departments, allowing students to obtain a greater breadth of knowledge in the timeframe of a single major.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n Our department offers three minors: Mathematics Minor; Statistics Minor, Mathematical Statistics Track; and Statistics Minor, Statistical Methods Track<\/a>. The difference between the two Statistics Minor tracks is that the Mathematical Statistics track provides a rigorous grounding in the theory and methods for the analysis of data, with a focus on probability theory and statistical principles, while the Statistical Methods track provides a firm background on a wide array of statistical methods to enable students to reason statistically across diverse application areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Students may wish to add a minor to their degree program to indicate that they have a good background in mathematics or statistics, in addition to the area of their primary degree. Here you can find the general list of undergraduate courses<\/a> and graduate courses<\/a> offered through our department that can be used to fulfill minor requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n The Bachelor\u2019s-to-Master\u2019s Programs are linked bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree programs in which the two degrees are conferred sequentially. Students entering the BA-to-MA in Mathematics program elect one of two options: mathematics or statistics. Please see the CAS Bachelor\u2019s-to-Master\u2019s page<\/a><\/span> for further details, including admissions requirements and application instructions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\nPure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics Majors<\/h3>
