Mathematical science offers to the undergraduate and graduate students a rich mix of pure and modern applied courses. Common to these offerings are the power, beauty, and utility of mathematical thought. Mathematical sciences is a living, vital subject with a long, distinguished tradition. A student who selects the mathematical sciences major will develop the ability to explore, to conjecture, and to reason logically, as well as the ability to use a variety of mathematical methods effectively to solve problems.
Opportunities for graduates in mathematics are as diverse as they are plentiful. Mathematicians are sought by universities, governmental agencies, and private industry and they contribute in direct and fundamental ways to human activity. Mathematical sciences majors can pursue a career in the teaching of mathematics or computer science at the college, high school, or middle school levels. Medical schools, law schools, graduate schools, and employers in fields such as economics, accounting, management sciences, mathematical sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, computer science, statistics, and communication seek graduates in mathematical sciences. The degree program at CSU San Marcos prepares its mathematical sciences majors to meet any of these challenges.
The next time you are up on the sixth floor of Craven Hall, take a moment to look read some of the career profiles posted on the wall across from offices 6225, 6227 and 6229 ... or look at the Mathematical Career of the Week posted outside of Craven 6231 and Craven 6240 (there are so many of these that you won't see the same one twice in two years).
