Why study mathematics? Math is everywhere. As the universal language, it’s needed for many different industries, ranging from engineering to computer science. Far from being a less-than-marketable skill, math is desired by employers around the globe, and companies love to hire mathematicians due to their versatile analytical skills.
Simply put, with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, you’ll be equipped to work in many different fields and professions depending on the electives you take, the experience you earn, and any future credentials you choose to pursue. Indeed, with a mathematics degree, you’ll be prepared for a varied, exciting career wherever you want to go.
