Career Outlook

Mathematics is the foundation discipline for science and has widespread utility in industrial, military, and scientific applications. The state of mathematics is a crucial predictor of future national strength in science, technology, and society itself, and has become an important indicator of our nation's future economic competitiveness. Accomplishments in mathematics today profoundly influence the theoretical foundations of many diverse disciplines, and constitute important intellectual tools of working scientists, engineers, social scientists, and business managers. Job opportunities in mathematics have never been better. Starting salaries for graduates with a bachelor's degree in mathematics are competitive with those in science, engineering, computer science, and business.
