Mathematics is the universal language of business, government planning, engineering and the applied sciences.

In today's high-tech workplace, people with strong math skills are more in demand than ever — and there are excellent opportunities for graduates with a degree in mathematics. Their knowledge and skills are vital in fields such as cryptography, computer security, computer modeling, statistical modeling and biotechnology. Mathematical skills also are valued in finance and other business-related fields, astronomy and space exploration, medicine, robotics and film animation.

You can prepare for these opportunities by earning your bachelor’s degree in Mathematics at St. John's University. Offered by St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the University’s oldest division, the program comprises two 126-credit courses of study: the Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. The B.A. and B.S. degree programs are available at the Queens and Staten Island campuses.

Students gain a solid foundation in the knowledge and skills that underlie mathematics. Courses cover topics such as the mathematical basis for computers, computer languages and advanced concepts in mathematics. Developing expertise in these and other related areas, students build the habits of thought needed for mastering concepts in mathematics — concepts applicable to many fields as well as advanced academic study.
