Mathematics, BS

Jump to Footer

The Mathematics (BS) program provides you with opportunities and guidance to determine your career path in the mathematical sciences based on your personal interests and goals.

Students hone their ability to reason carefully, write precisely, solve problems effectively, and use both mathematical theory and technology to deepen their understanding. In addition, students develop mathematical independence and perseverance with the opportunity to experience open-ended research with a professor. All students majoring in mathematics at Ship take advanced coursework in some other field to which mathematics is applied, and all students are explicitly oriented to the many career opportunities in mathematics.
