There are two undergraduate degrees in Mathematics offered at Texas A&M University: the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and the Bachelor of Science (B.S.).
All advising for these degrees is done through the Undergraduate Program Office in the Department of Mathematics.
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics
The B.A. in Mathematics gives you a traditional liberal arts education in mathematics.
Through this program, you will investigate a broad array of techniques in mathematics. You'll also pursue electives in related fields that demonstrate how mathematics is fundamental to the world at large.
Careers
After completing this program, you'll be prepared to enter the professional work force.
If you choose the appropriate electives, you will also be prepared to pursue professional degrees in various fields, including education, law, and medicine.
Students in this degree can also pursue teaching certification programs through aggieTEACH-Arts & Sciences.
Students can double their career potential by obtaining a Texas high school teaching certificate as they earn their bachelor’s degree.
Enhance Your Degree with a Minor
The B.A. in Mathematics is well suited for students interested in pursuing mathematics and some other area. A minor field of study is required for this degree. Minors are 15–18 credit hours and will display on your transcript after graduation, but not on your diploma.
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
The B.S. in Mathematics explores mathematical problems and their interplay with science and engineering.
Through this program, you will investigate a broad array of techniques in pure mathematics. You'll also pursue electives in science and related fields that demonstrate the crucial underpinnings of mathematics in our understanding of information, science, and technology.
Careers
After completing this program, you'll be prepared to enter employment with analytical and quantitative tools relevant to technological industries or modern financial markets.
If you choose the appropriate electives, you will also be prepared to enter quantitatively oriented graduate programs, including Ph.D. programs in Mathematics.
