In the past few years, many career opportunities have become available for mathematics majors. Besides the traditional teaching and graduate school options, many engineering and scientific firms have discovered they like to employ mathematics majors because of their highly developed problem solving abilities, and their versatility and adaptability. For many students and employers, mathematics has become recognized as the most versatile of all undergraduate college majors. Mathematicians at all levels continue to play a strategic role in today's high-tech academic infrastructure.

If you enjoy math, science and engineering, and if you tend to be "drawn" to the mathematical aspects of these subjects, then it could be that becoming a math major is exactly the "right" academic path for you. Most math majors enjoy seeing their mathematical skills applied to other subjects. This is precisely why we encourage our majors to broaden and work on areas of emphasis, minors, and even double majors, in other academic departments.
