Rankings of careers routinely list Data Scientist, Statistician, Mathematician, Operations Research Analyst, and Actuary as five of the top ten, and our programs have graduates in all of these. Positions in K-12 teaching and, after graduate school, in the academic world, are also highly desireable and we send people to those, as well.  \nThe School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics, which can be taken either on its own, or with a specialization in either Actuarial Mathematics or Data Science. We also offer a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Education, which leads to licensure as a high school mathematics teacher.  \nUndergraduate mathematics majors at SIU Carbondale can enter an accelerated master's program in which 9 hours of mathematics courses will satisfy requirements in both the bachelor's degree and the master's degree, allowing for completion of both degrees after 5 (4+1) years. Because the master's degree requires 30 hours of coursework, students in the accelerated master's program only need 21 graduate hours after their Fourth Year, thereby making it possible to complete the master's degree in only one year. To enter this program, students must have at least a 3.0 GPA in all coursework. Please see the Director of Graduate Studies in the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences for more information. High school students who plan to major in Mathematics or Mathematics Education should get the strongest preparation possible in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, including a substantial study of functions and graphing. Precalculus courses are often good preparation where available. AP credit in Calculus or Computer Science is certainly not necessary to be successful, but is helpful if a student has those opportunities. Transfer students should plan to complete three semesters of calculus (covering single-and multivariable calculus), linear algebra, and a computer programming course within the first two years. Additional courses, such as differential equations, are helpful.  \nFaculty advisors within the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences are skilled in helping students choose appropriate courses for their individual ambitions and interests, and in connecting students with additional opportunities. A student should meet with both an academic advisor and a faculty advisor every semester.  \nA grade of C or better is required in every mathematics course used to satisfy program requirements. A student cannot repeat a course or its equivalent in which a grade of B or better was earned without the consent of the school. A math major is required to obtain the permission of the school for a second repeat (third attempt) of a course that is required or elective for the major.  \nDouble majors in mathematics and related fields  \nSpecial provisions are made for students to earn a double major in mathematics and a field in which mathematics is extensively applied. The courses MATH 447, MATH 449, MATH 471, MATH 472, and MATH 475 carry credit hours in both mathematics and computer science. See Bachelor of Science Degree, School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences for specific requirements in mathematics for students who also earn a major or minor in computer science.  \nFor students pursuing a double major in math and engineering, physics, or chemistry, the mathematics requirements are MATH 150 or MATH 151, MATH 221, MATH 250, MATH 251, MATH 305 and five additional mathematics courses numbered above 300, including at least three courses above 400, and including two of the three areas of algebra, analysis, probability and statistics.
