 About Florida Atlantic University , and the Department of Mathematical Sciences The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree and to the Bachelor of Science degree. Either of these two programs, when combined with suitably chosen electives, constitutes an excellent background for a career as a mathematics teacher or for a wide range of careers and advanced or professional degree programs. Furthermore, the Bachelor of Science degree program is designed to prepare students for graduate work in mathematics. The certificate programs in statistics, actuarial sciences, or cryptography can be completed either independently or in conjunction with the other programs. Minors in Mathematics and in Statistics are also offered. In addition, the Department of Mathematical Sciences offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science degree, Master of Science in Teaching degree, and the Doctor of Philosophy degree. Outstanding scholarship in the mathematics program is recognized by membership in the Florida Zeta Chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon, the national mathematics honorary society for university students, and by the annual Pi Mu Epsilon award at the Honors Convocation. Students in the Department of Mathematical Sciences have performed well on the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Examination, the annual North American mathematical competition for undergraduates. The Department of Mathematical Sciences works in close cooperation with the Career Planning and Placement Office and the Co-operative Education Office in counseling and assisting mathematics students seeking permanent, part-time or vacation employment. Students are strongly urged to discuss their programs with an advisor so that their program can be tailored to individual needs and interests. More information for Math Majors
