  1. 1.Prepare students for successful professional careers in mathematics or related areas;
  2. 2.Equip students with skills relevant to the practice of mathematics, among which are independent and critical thinking and problem-solving techniques;
  3. 3.Build up the students’ oral and written mathematical communication skills which enable them to present their ideas efficiently;
  4. 4.Equip students with academic and analytical skills needed to pursue higher education in mathematics or related disciplines; and
  5. 5.Promote collaborative work among students to help them function effectively in a professional workplace or in a graduate program.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon graduation, students will be able to:

  1. 1.Demonstrate proficiency in basic knowledge in a broad range of mathematical areas;
  2. 2.Apply acquired mathematical concepts and techniques to analyze and solve problems;
  3. 3.Read, understand and write mathematical proofs;
  4. 4.Function as team players;
  5. 5.Identify the inter-dependency of different areas of mathematics, as well as connections between mathematics and other disciplines;
  6. 6.Explain and communicate mathematical principles and ideas with clarity and logic, both written and verbally, demonstrating communication skills to be used in any future career; and
  7. 7.Use mathematical tools to solve larger real world problems.

Admission Requirements

All first-year applicants must complete the Admission Requirements.

Graduation Requirements

To receive the BS in Mathematics, a student must fulfill all requirements of his/ her degree program, complete all required courses, and accumulate a total of 90 credits with an overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0/4.0 and a minimum GPA of 2.0/4.0 in both the core and major requirements, and clear all accounts with the university.
