Program Overview

The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) in mathematics with a concentration in applied mathematics, as well as other areas of study.

The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Colorado Denver offers degrees and certificates at the undergraduate and graduate levels in mathematics, applied mathematics, data science, and statistics through coursework, research, and industrial collaboration. The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics offers foundational knowledge in both theoretical and applied mathematics and equips students with essential skills to build models, analyze data, and construct algorithms to help meet the demand for professionals who excel in solving problems and discovering patterns. The program offers optional concentration areas in applied mathematics, probability and statistics, or data science. The honors program offers high-achieving students the opportunity to challenge themselves academically and graduate with one of three levels of honors.

Math majors are well prepared to pursue careers in data science, biotechnology, actuarial sciences, engineering, finance, cyber security, and mathematics education. Many math majors also pursue graduate studies in business, law, medicine, mathematics or statistics.

Undergraduate students majoring in mathematics complete a minimum of 42 credit hours in mathematics and statistics and one computer programming course. Classes cover a broad range of mathematical topics, including numerical analysis, statistics, data science, graph theory, and operations research. A thriving and diverse community of approachable faculty and enthusiastic students offers many opportunities to get involved. Students can attend seminars, join the Math and Statistics Student Club, participate in undergraduate research projects, gain valuable work experience with an internship, help out other students by working in the Math and Stats Support Center (MASS) and outreach to local high schools, compete in international mathematical modeling contests, or just hang out with other students on the floor.

Our department’s community is committed to creating a supportive culture that welcomes and celebrates all backgrounds, perspectives, and identities, and in which our diverse students, staff, and faculty are valued and respected. We strive to create an equitable and inclusive environment that enables students to achieve their desired goals.
