View information for the Department of Mathematics , including Learning Objectives.
The mathematics program offers the quality education you would expect from a large university with the feel of a small one. Professors work closely with students to ensure they get the best education possible. Graduates are very successful in their careers and in earning graduate fellowships from many of the best-known mathematics departments in the country.
The Department of Mathematics offers three degree programs:
- Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics - oriented to pure mathematics; preparation for graduate study in mathematics.
- Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - oriented to applied mathematics and applications; preparation for careers in industry, a government, or graduate study in applied mathematics.
- Bachelor of Arts with Subject Matter Preparation Program - oriented to teaching mathematics, approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, and satisfies the subject matter prerequisites for entry into a single subject credential program to teach mathematics.
The Department also offers Mathematics Concentration in the Liberal Studies B.A. and Mathematics Minor .
