B.S. in Mathematics

If you already love math, do you really need another reason to major in it? Well, if you do, consider this: employers value the skills of math majors. Not just the whole numbers thing but also the critical-thinking and problem-solving aspects, which are so crucial to many businesses. As you study math, you’ll also gain a solid understanding of how math plays a vital role in other fields, such as physics, engineering, and business.
