Mathematics Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mathematics at the University of Mary Washington can open up almost any future you see for yourself. Mathematicians build bridges, monitor air traffic, analyze drug safety, encrypt data, program computers and more. Ground yourself in calculus, linear and abstract algebra, and real analysis, then explore what speaks most to you as you build skills to solve real-world problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please consult the UMW Undergraduate Catalog<\/a> for specific and up-to-date major requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Graduate Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Undergraduate outcome data is collected by the UMW Career Center each year. The data is then broken down by major in order to determine how many graduates in each major are employed, attending graduate school, or pursuing a different path within 6 months of graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

“Knowledge Rate<\/strong>” describes the percent of graduates for which the institution has reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates’ post-graduation career activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Career Outcomes Rate<\/strong>” describes the number of graduates who have landed in any of the employment categories (full-time, part-time, internship) in addition to service, military, and continuing education divided by the total number of students for whom an outcome is known.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
