Admission requirements and application procedures depend on the degree program.
Mathematics is a fundamental tool for the modern world. Mathematical analysis and modeling assist in weather forecasting and earthquake prediction, in the design of aircraft and electronic devices, in the development of secret codes for the secure transmission of information and in financial analysis and economic forecasting.
The program in mathematics at DU prepares you for the many opportunities in these fields. Our students move on to careers in high-tech industries, the aerospace industry, the information management world, and teaching. Some students may choose to pursue graduate work in mathematics, computer science or other fields.
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics
The BS and BA in Mathematics provide a strong foundation in mathematics with a particular emphasis on the development of logical and analytical problem-solving skills. This major is often combined with a major or minor in an application area such as natural sciences, computer science, or business. Career opportunities include mathematical analyst, scientific applications programmer, programmer analyst, actuary, and teacher.
The Department of Mathematics conducts research in areas that include pure mathematics (Banach space theory, functional analysis, algebra) and mathematical physics (foundations of quantum mechanics). Our MA, MS, and PhD programs afford a personalized, congenial, and rewarding educational atmosphere for each student, with evening classes to accommodate working students.
