Fields in math and science are widely recognized as some of the most critically important fields in our complex, highly technical global environment. Tremendous career opportunities are open to students who elect math/science as their majors, given the general shortage of people with training in these essential areas. Students who pursue a major in Math/Science must complete 3 math courses, 4 lab science courses, and a course in information technology in addition to all the general education course requirements. It is an ideal major for those who love math, science, and computer science, or who plan to pursue baccalaureate majors in math, the natural sciences, engineering or computer science. The mission of this major is to provide students with the introductory science and math courses needed to fulfill the general prerequisites in a natural science or math major at a four-year school.
Upon transfer, Math/Science students have continued studies in mathematics, engineering, computer science, biology, chemistry, physics, or environmental science. Students may also pursue pre-medicine programs or pre-veterinarian programs from this major. A variety of careers are open to students who complete the Math/Science major, including research, teaching, engineering, environmental studies, environmental policy analysis, computer science, business, medicine, and veterinary medicine. The rigor of the academic training provided by these majors allows successful graduates to pursue any number of careers outside of the traditional math and natural sciences field, including business and the insurance industry.
