Program Overview
Pure mathematics is often described as the abstract or analytical fields of mathematics. A concentration in Pure Mathematics gives you a broad background in mathematics with courses in computational mathematics, statistics, applied mathematics and other fields. However, it will focus on more abstract concepts through many courses including analysis, algebra and number theory. This will give you a strong foundation for graduate school in Mathematics or in industry jobs.
Students who finish with this concentration will have a strong background to go to graduate school and many graduates of the Mathematics Department have gone to strong local and national graduate programs. The skills learned can also be applied to make industry level jobs. Our Resources For Careers In Mathematics lists a number of applicable resources.
