Degree Programs
The math department has worked hard to create a program for students with
interests from the purely theoretical to the highly practical. The percentage
of math majors at UR is among the highest at any university. In addition, we
have a large number of double majors.
In planning your schedule please read the
recommendations prepared by the mathematics
department. See an advisor in the mathematics department for more information.
Also see the
Career Planning Guide
for information on why a math degree is a valuable credential for business as
well as academics, where to apply for jobs, and advice on resume writing.
