BA in Mathematics

CSP’s Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics is a dynamic, highly adaptable degree that will prepare you for the modern demands of a data-driven world. Students looking for a more expansive math-centric degree can choose a B.S. in Mathematics which has a higher credit requirement alongside a greater focus on mathematical applications.

In this program, you’ll add skills directly translating to job settings, including using geometry modeling software, creating computer programming models, and mastering advanced systems.

Students will learn to use technology, including computer algebra systems, geometry modeling software, spreadsheets, 3D printers, and computer programming to model and solve complex problems that are applicable in the real world. Many students further their knowledge and earn honors by conducting independent research projects that are presented at research conferences.

Mathematics graduates from CSP are empowered to pursue any number of career paths. Exciting careers are available in data analysis, risk analysis, education, and research. Every student who goes through the program can also engage in a helpful internship that prepares them for success.
