Georgetown University offers two Bachelor's degrees in Mathematics: the A.B. and the B.S. The A.B. in Mathematics is suitable for students planning further study or careers outside of mathematics, such as in medicine, law, business, finance, journalism, or government service. The B.S. in Mathematics is designed for students intending to pursue graduate studies or careers directly within the field of mathematics. Students interested in majoring in mathematics are encouraged to take 'Introduction to Proof and Problem Solving' (MATH-2800) early in their academic careers to better understand the demands of higher mathematics.
Curriculum
The B.S. in Mathematics requires 13 courses (42 credits) and is intended for students focused on graduate studies in quantitative fields. Students are expected to maintain at least a B average in their mathematics courses. The curriculum includes core mathematics courses, a programming course, and electives, with the option to count a mathematically intensive course from another discipline.
