image2When we asked one of our graduates, a medical insurance consultant, what you can do with a math major, her answer was "anything!" 

Mathematics is the language of science and engineering and a key tool for understanding the world we live in.  Because mathematics is fundamental and flexible, you can combine it with any other interest. 

Are you interested in business or finance?  Consider the Actuarial Science concentration.  Science and Engineering?  Applied/Computational Mathematics.  Computers?  Discrete Mathematics.  Teaching?  Secondary Education.  Medical research?  Statistics.  Or maybe you want a background in General Mathematics.  What do you want to do?

Michigan Tech offers a major concentration that will help you get  where you want to be:

Actuarial Science:  the mathematics of money and insurance, health, and retirement benefits
Applied and Computational Mathematics:  for the scientific modeling of everything from the weather to the manufacture of ice cream
Discrete Mathematics:  the mathematics behind that fast, new computer
General Mathematics:  mathematics to prepare you for graduate study
Secondary Education:  designed to prepare you to be an outstanding teacher
Statistics:  mathematics for collecting and analyzing data

If you're unsure where you'd like math to take you, check out some of the jobs held by our graduates.  There are many possible careers!

A minor in the mathematical sciences is also available.  Please see a department advisor for more information.
