The mathematics degree at UMass provides the student with broad exposure to the most important themes in mathematics and statistics while allowing the student to specialize in one or more areas
The rigorous mathematical and statistical traIning, coupled with exposure to computing paradigms (whether in Java, Python, MATLAB, R, and/or SAS), has provided our majors with increasing success in the job and graduate school marketplace
In just the past year, primary math majors have taken jobs at companies ranging from British Aerospace to Microsoft to Optum to MassMutual to Willis Towers Watson, have begun Master's programs including at WPI, Northeastern, Harvard, and UMass in a range of fields such as Applied Math, Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Data Science, Education, and Business, and have started Ph.D. programs at UC Berkeley, Michigan, UT Austin, UC Santa Barbara, and Boston University in Pure Math and Biostatistics
