Mathematics (Arizona State University)
Program Description
The four-year BA or BS in mathematics program at Arizona State University can prepare students for a career in a variety of fields, including engineering, finance, healthcare and teaching. While a BA in mathematics provides a strong foundation in general mathematics, it also allows students the flexibility to pursue a diverse range of careers, such as business management or law. The BS in mathematics program is designed to help students pursue a career in more advanced mathematical fields, such as numerical analysis, cryptography and bioinformatics. Both the BA and BS programs require 120 credit hours.
Students may also pursue a two-year MS in mathematics, requiring 30 credit hours, or a five-year Ph.D. in mathematics, which requires 84 credit hours. The problem-solving skills gained through an advanced degree in mathematics are highly desirable. A higher degree in mathematics may lead to a career in space studies, government or teaching mathematics at the community college level or higher. Coursework is heavily focused on advanced mathematics, including real analysis, combinatorics, geometry and abstract algebra.
