The mathematics program at LMU is designed to provide students with a thorough knowledge of math’s essential fields such as number theory, set theory, logic, algebra, and analysis. Graduates will explore various realms of mathematics with a variety of core course work along with courses in Differential Equations or the History of Math, depending on one’s track. A degree in math can lead to many professional programs and career opportunities.

Program Tracks

Mathematics

Students who are analytical, enjoy problem-solving, and have a strong aptitude for math are often drawn to mathematics as a major. They may excel in high school math courses, particularly advanced placement and honors classes. Some may be interested in the theoretical aspects of mathematics, while others are attracted to its applications in various fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, and business. Mathematics graduates could find positions in areas such as: accounting, banking, finance, management sciences, and other business-related occupations; data analysis; actuarial science; statistician cryptology; engineering and quality control; or higher education for those who pursue graduate studies in mathematics.

Secondary Education

Those who do pursue teacher licensure will study non-traditional methods of problem solving in Mathematics for the Secondary Classroom, and have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities in Discrete Math and Geometry. Graduates from this track earn a teacher licensure and go on to teach math in the secondary education setting.
