The BA Mathematics is recommended for students who enjoy problem solving and would like to apply problem solving skills along with communication and analyzing skills in a future career. This degree also provides an excellent background for graduate work in mathematics and other disciplines including law and medicine as well as engineering and science.

This major is designed for students interested in teaching mathematics in high school or middle school. To learn more about this program, visit the for more information. The following course work satisfies San Jos茅 State University's requirements for a BA in Mathematics. The BA- BA Mathematics Integrated Teacher Education Program is approved as subject matter preparation for a single subject credential by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). Those who do not wish to complete one of the degree programs or individuals seeking a single subject credential in subject areas not listed must pass all portions of the appropriate Commission-approved subject matter examination(s).

This degree is recommended for students who wish to work in the research and development area of industry. This program also prepares a student for graduate study in applied mathematics, numerical analysis, or operations research. The concentration in applied and computational mathematics provides a solid foundation in classical applied mathematics as well as computational mathematics, which could be informally described as "how to employ mathematics on computers wisely." A graduate could seek direct employment assisting a group of scientists with the formulation and solution of problems. There is a great need in local and national technical industries for people with sufficiently strong mathematical knowledge to participate on such teams. For example, modern techniques for solving partial differential equations are very sophisticated; the best method in a given situation depends on the properties of the model. Once a numerical approximation has been formulated, the techniques to solve that, and the commercial software available to do it, again require informed decisions.

This BS Statistics program is recommended for students who wish to pursue a career in statistics. This program also prepares a student for graduate study in probability and statistics.

This program is appropriate for students pursuing a career involving the collection and analysis of numerical data, the use of statistical techniques to predict population growth or economic conditions, the use of statistics to analyze medical, environmental, legal and social problems, or to help business managers make decisions and carry out quality control. The statistics concentration also provides a solid foundation for students who plan to become actuaries.

We are no longer accepting students into the BS Applied Math, Concentration in Statistics program.  Students who want to pursue  careers in Statistics should apply to the BS Statistics program.
