Mathematics is an excellent major for the student
whose immediate objective is to acquire a good liberal
arts education. Students who complete a bachelor's
degree in mathematics may choose several postgraduate
alternatives, including an advanced degree in either
mathematics or another closely related field, such as
computer science, biometry, information science,
statistics or operations research.
Students who combine mathematics with another
discipline that uses mathematics can also pursue
graduate work in the second discipline. These areas
include biology, chemistry, economics, medicine,
physics and many of the social science disciplines. In
addition, mathematics majors may teach at the secondary
level or work in business, industry or government
positions which emphasize analytical reasoning.
