Mathematics is the universal language of business, government planning, engineering, and the applied sciences.
In today's high-tech workplace, employees with strong math skills are more in demand than ever — and there are excellent opportunities for graduates with a degree in Mathematics. Your knowledge and skills will be 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 of Science (B.S.) in Mathematics at St. John's University. In the program, you 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, you build the habits of thought needed for mastering concepts in mathematics — concepts applicable to many fields as well as advanced academic study.
As a Mathematics major, you may be eligible to pursue pathways to graduate study.
