Bachelors of Arts in Mathematics
From the coding in computers to calculations involved in construction to digits that appear in your bank statements, mathematics is everywhere!
Overview
From the coding in computers to calculations involved in construction to digits that appear in your bank statements, mathematics is everywhere! Every day, you solve puzzles—some easy and some complex—with the logical thinking and analysis that stems from mathematics.
As a math major at Albertus, you’ll explore foundational concepts in algebra, calculus, number theory, geometry, probability and mathematical logic, in addition to computer programming and numerical methods. Our program supports teacher preparation and the ability to reason quantitatively and logically that is required for you to live a productive and fulfilling life.
You need mathematics whether you study sociology, psychology, political science, business, economics, physics, chemistry, biology or linguistics. Your degree in mathematics can lead to careers in teaching, business, government service and a wide range of industries, as well as graduate study in pure or applied mathematics.
In small and lively classroom settings, our friendly and accessible faculty members offer the one-on-one attention and support that helps you succeed. Choose our Special Topics course and tailor the mathematics major to meet your personal and professional goals.

Program Goals & Objectives
Upon completing the program of study in Mathematics, students will:
- Proficient knowledge base and breadth (introductory courses supplemented by upper-level courses);
- Proficient critical thinking skills (data interpretation/presentation especially in upper level courses e.g., MA 391);
- Proficiency in written/oral communication skills (lab reports, research papers in introductory & advanced courses, oral presentations and in-class discussions);
- Proficiency in mathematical modeling/experimental design (present both in introductory & advanced levels; should include a degree of creativity especially in the appropriate choice, design,, application, and interpretation of mathematical models/experimental design);
- Proficiency in information literacy (some courses include a “library component” for research projects/papers);
- Proficiency in quantitative analysis (data interpretation & presentation; covered in both introductory and upper-levels courses).
