Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics

Mathematics, often celebrated as the "Queen of the Sciences," has long been a basic tool in the physical sciences, engineering, and commerce. Today it is also used in sophisticated ways in the social sciences and humanities. Students majoring in mathematics have the opportunity to learn about its diverse applications, as well as acquiring an understanding of both the foundations and the frontiers of the discipline.

Many students, understanding the importance of mathematical preparation for careers outside of mathematics, choose a second major or a minor in mathematics. The Department of Mathematics is fully prepared to guide their course selections with those goals in mind.The mission of the undergraduate program of the Northwestern University Department of Mathematics is to foster the intellectual and personal growth of our students through the study of mathematics.
