Program Information Although most people may not realize it, we use mathematics everyday?we balance our checkbooks, calculate grams of sugar, figure out exactly how much that shirt is if it's 30% off, measure out how much kids' cold medicine we need to give to a child based on weight. What many students may not realize is the number of careers that require some level of math skills. Some careers and professions are clearly math-based to varying degrees: math teacher, computer science, statistician/actuarian, accounting, engineering, medicine, the sciences. But math can figure prominently in many other areas, for example: psychology and sociology. Psych and Sociology majors at universities may require finite mathematics or calculus, plus a semester or two of research methods and statistics. Because you may not know where or when or how much math may be required in the major and career you have chosen, get a good foundation in mathematics and keep all your options open!
