What Degree Do You Need to Become a Mathematician?

Our Bachelor of Science in Mathematics can help prepare you for further graduate study. A master’s degree in mathematics can help you become suited for applied mathematician roles or teaching at the community college level. However, a PhD in Mathematics is most sought after by those who aim to be mathematicians.

Many who study mathematics at the undergraduate level go on to pursue their PhD directly after undergraduate study, but many also opt to pursue a master’s degree. In our mathematics courses, material for the GRE is taught, which is an admissions requirement at many universities for graduate study in mathematics. Specific admission requirements vary by institution.

With rigorous study of real analysis, complex analysis, differential equations, linear algebra, and calculus, you can begin to form a strong basis for further study. With professors that you can form meaningful relationships with, you can define your goals and set action plans to meet them. The partnership and mentoring that our faculty provide are purposeful, and we believe that this helps fulfill our mission of Training Champions for Christ.
