The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics (B.A. in Mathematics) program is designed to prepare students for employment by the private sector or by government agencies requiring high-level quantitative skills and the ability to think critically and locally. It provides the background required to enter graduate school in mathematics or related areas. This program differs from the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics program in that the student pursuing a B.A. in Mathematics degree (1) is required to select a minor course of study offered at the university, and (2) may take fewer hours of mathematics or science courses than the B.S. requires.
Students who complete the B.A. in Mathematics will be proficient in the following student learning outcomes:
-
Explain how mathematical concepts reveal Biblical principles
-
Demonstrate proficiency in communicating mathematical concepts
-
Perform high-level mathematical computations
-
Develop mathematical models of real-world phenomena
