该系提供的课程可导致获得理学学士学位，理学硕士学位和哲学博士学位。如果您对数学专业感兴趣，那么您应该知道精算学专业为基础的精算做准备，精算实践包括统计计算保险的风险，保费等。专注于数学教育可以帮助您为中小学的数学教学做好准备。至关重要的是，每位在霍华德大学（Howard University）学习数学课程的学生都应安排与学生的数学准备水平相称的课程。为此，数学系每年八月和每年一月进行一次数学选拔考试。计划在大学期间任何时候进入霍华德大学的每个学生计划在任何时候参加数学课程，都应在进入大学时参加数学入学考试
The Department of Mathematics offers courses leading to a major in mathematics with several concentrations, as well as a minor in mathematics. The Department of Mathematics at Howard University was established in 1867 and today offers courses leading to degrees of Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. If you are interested in mathematics as a major, you should know that a concentration in actuarial science prepares you for the foundations of actuarial practice, which involves statistically calculating risks, premiums, etc. for insurance. A concentration in mathematics education prepares you for teaching mathematics at the elementary and secondary level. A concentration in pure and applied mathematics, the more traditional course of study, ordinarily attracts students who expect to pursue higher degrees in mathematics, as well as those preparing for careers as mathematicians in industry and government.
