Mathematics at D’Youville
The BA in Mathematics offered by the Mathematics and
Natural Sciences Department is a new, modern program,
designed to best prepare you for a career either in
teaching it or applying it in industry.
The BA degree in mathematics is designed to require a total
of 120 college credits. In addition to the required
coursework within the math major, the college has several
core requirements that every D’Youville student will
experience. Since the major requirements (36 credits of
Mathematics and 8 credits of Physics) are not exhaustive,
you will have many free elective hours left to pursue
another major or a minor (e.g., accounting, business
administration, biology, chemistry, English,
entrepreneurship, history, management, natural sciences,
pre-law, pre-med psychology, sociology, Spanish, or written
communication), or any special interests you may have
within the four years that you are with us at
D’Youville. You also have opportunities to
participate in research and attend national and
international conferences. It is our hope that you will
graduate a well-rounded individual that is educated across
the disciplines. You can chose the subject areas to study
based on your interests or graduate school prerequisite
requirements.
You have the ability to enroll in the dual Mathematics BA
and Education MS, a program offered in conjunction from the
Mathematics and Natural Sciences and the Graduate Education
Departments. Admission into this program allows a smooth
transition from the undergraduate math program to graduate
education. In fact, since the math major only requires 120
credit hours, several students take some of their graduate
requirements in their senior year, making it easily
possible for you to obtain a combined BA in mathematics and
MS in education in only five years.
