The BA is a comprehensive Mathematics degree that allows students the flexibility to follow their own interests in coursework, research, and independent study. By completing the core, students will develop knowledge and skills in the major areas of mathematics (discrete and continuous, deterministic and probabilistic). In their remaining elective courses, students will be able to pursue their interests in pure or applied mathematics.
Majors and Minors in Math
The Department of Mathematics offers three majors and two minors. The variety of programs reflects the diverse interests of the Ithaca College students. The math faculty is committed to working with all students to ensure success by providing a supportive environment that stresses critical thinking, intellectual challenge, and continual encouragement.
Mathematics - B.A.
Mathematics - B.A. with Teaching Option
This program prepares students for initial New York State certification to teach at the secondary school (7-12) level.
Mathematics - B.S.
The BS is designed for students interested in continuing studies in math intensive fields after graduation. By completing the core, students will develop knowledge and skills in the major areas of mathematics (discrete and continuous, deterministic and probabilistic). By designing a concentration, students will explore in depth mathematics of their own choosing.
Math Minor
The mathematics minor program provides an option for non-majors who wish to take mathematics courses, be guided in course selection, and receive recognition for their studies.
Data Science Minor
The Data Science Minor combines mathematical modeling, computational thinking, and inferential reasoning to draw conclusions from data in the world around us. Students learn the tools used by data scientists and engage in the interdisciplinary problem-solving needed to make sense of data and effectively communicate findings.
