数学为学生适应现代全球社会的需求做好了准备，在现代社会中，需要复杂的定量技能来解决科学，工程，商业，教育和政府方面的挑战性课程。数学家对于计算机科学，工程学，生物信息学，数据挖掘，计算机动画，经济学，流行病学，生态学和气候学领域至关重要。博士课程为学生提供了所选数学领域的深入知识，可以在学术界，政府或私营企业中担任高技能的数学家。此外，学生可以将其专业扩展到其他科学和应用学科，并为学术界，政府或私营部门的有意义的长期职业做好准备。需要具有STEM相关学科的基本背景。
Mathematics prepares students for the demands of a modern global society where sophisticated, quantitative skills are required to solve challenging programs in science, engineering, business, education and government. Mathematicians are essential to the fields of computer science, engineering, bioinformatics, data mining, computer animation, economics, epidemiology, ecology and climatology. The doctoral option provides students with in-depth knowledge of a chosen area of mathematics to work as highly skilled mathematicians in academia, government or private industry. Also, students can expand their specialization into other scientific and applied disciplines and prepare for meaningful, long-term careers in academia, government or the private sector. A primary background in a STEM-related discipline is required.
