The bachelor of arts degree in mathematics is designed to provide students with a broad spectrum of coursework in the mathematical sciences. It is intended to give students a sense of the human story and the philosophical underpinning of mathematics. This is the recommended major for those students intending to go into secondary teaching, but is not intended to be limited to these students alone. There are more elective options for a B.A. and more room for the students to incorporate a minor field of study.
