Special Programs and Career Help
The Math Department offers a number of programs
designed to prepare students for employment after graduation.
Below we list some of those programs, and then provide links
to several sites with career information for students majoring
in mathematics or statistics, and some general career information.
Special Programs
- Math Science Honors Program

Deadline for 2007 applications: Friday, March 2, 2007!
- Actuary Program
Actuary is consistently one of the most
highly rated jobs in the country (according to the Jobs Rated
Almanac). The job is highly mathematical, and stature in the
profession is achieved by passing a series of exams. This program
prepares students to get a jump on these exams.
- • Career Day 2008: Friday March 28th 1:00-5:00pm in PSH 153. Please
