program description

the bachelor of arts in mathematics can be earned by completing any one of three concentrations:

• concentration in mathematics for advanced study (48 units): prepares students for graduate study of mathematics.
• concentration in mathematics for liberal arts (42 units): intended for students planning non-technical careers.
• concentration in mathematics for teaching (45 units): matches the state-approved subject matter program for the single-subject credential in mathematics.

the advanced study concentration is for students who plan to pursue a masters or doctoral degree in mathematics. students who choose this concentration will obtain a solid foundation in the cornerstones of advanced mathematics: linear algebra, abstract algebra, vector analysis, real analysis, and complex analysis.
