Mathematics
Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
Build your career in a science that doubles as a cornerstone of countless other fields.
Develop the skills and experience you need to start your career in what has been called the "queen of the sciences." Mathematicians are valued in all fields, from the hard sciences to the arts, for their analytical skills and insight into the processes of every-day life. You could find yourself working in almost any business you can dream of!
FSU offers a modern approach to mathematics that adds up to a very marketable career. Companies hire mathematicians because they are the among the most trainable college graduates. The focus of every mathematics class is to take a situation, get it sorted out into logical components and see the big structure. Employers know that a mathematician can adapt to any problem that they have because they ask questions, wanting to know why everything works, which helps companies interrogate their own procedures. Mathematics majors also consistently earn the top score on the LSAT and the MCAT.
Frostburg’s Mathematics program applies the study of mathematics to real-world problems. You’ll find cutting-edge facilities and a supportive, enthusiastic community ready and waiting to get you the undergraduate experience of a lifetime.

What You'll Learn
As a mathematics major, you learn to approach problems that you’ve never seen before. How will you take a problem and “mathematic” it? By precision: you will learn to write what you mean and mean what you write. Mathematicians also attend to approximation by learning when approximations are appropriate, why they break down and how to interpret them.Our Alumni
