Program Description
The mathematics track is a transfer program that
provides the first two years of courses necessary for a
four-year baccalaureate degree in mathematics.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of this program a student will be able
to:
Effectively communicate the concepts of single and
multivariable calculus, differential equations, and
linear algebra using appropriate mathematical
language.
Apply mathematical approaches from single and/or
multivariable calculus, differential equations, and
linear algebra to analyze and solve problems in
mathematics and other disciplines.
Appropriately use current mathematical software,
such as Matlab or MAPLE, for tasks in multivariable
calculus, differential equations, and/or linear algebra.

Related Careers
As described by the University of Houston’s Math
Department, Mathematics prepares you for a career
in a diverse range of areas, and as science and
technology become integrated into more and more
aspects of our lives, employers are clamoring for
employees with mathematical skills and problem-
solving abilities. Some careers that a math major is
especially good preparation for are the following:
Jobs in Industry or the Private Sector. There are
numerous jobs in the private sector that desperately
need math majors. These areas include: Actuarial
Science, Computer Analyst or programmer,
Economist, Engineering Analyst, Information
Scientist, Marketing Research Analyst,
Mathematician, Meteorologist, Numeral Analyst,
Operations Research, Statistician, and Systems
Analyst.
Government Jobs. There are a variety of
government positions that require a mathematics
degree. In particular, the National Security Agency
(NSA) is the largest employer of mathematicians
whose skills are useful to help create and break
codes, analyze intelligence data, and perform signal
analysis. They hire people with a variety of technical
degrees at all levels (undergraduate and graduate).
Mathematics Teacher, Mathematics Professor, or
Professional Mathematician. These are perhaps the
most obvious careers that a math major can pursue.
If you want to be a mathematics professor or a
professional mathematician, you will need to go to
graduate school in mathematics.
