The B.A. and B.S. Degrees with a major in Mathematical Sciences consists of 47 credits of required courses in Mathematics. Approved Statistics courses may also be included. Either degree option has seven possible Concentrations and a No Concentration Option. The Concentrations are defined by the required upper division courses. This concentration is recommended for students interested in a career as an Operations Research Analyst or in pursuing a graduate degree in Operations Research or a related field. The broad real-world applicability of Operations Research makes it an attractive choice for Math majors. In Operations Research courses students get a solid background in mathematical modeling of decision-making problems, algorithms for solving different types of these problems, as well as experience using appropriate software tools.
