If you look up any report on the “best” majors in college, not only is mathematics on the list, as a discipline, it is critical to nearly all the other top 10 careers. Mathematical occupations are growing much faster than the national average – with median salaries well above the national average in actuarial science, finance, and mathematics. 

Lawrence Tech’s Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences is an interdisciplinary program that allows you to tailor your degree to the profession you wish to pursue, whether it is actuarial science or mathematics – or a career in another field such as data mining or cyber defense.

In addition to the Applied Sciences and Actuarial Science concentrations, you can choose elective courses from a wide range of topics to prepare you for medical or graduate school or the business world. Your professors will also help you develop a strong capstone research project that will enhance your competitiveness.


Why LTU?

LTU is located in a productive, vital, and economically diverse region that is one of the world’s great centers for entrepreneurship, technological achievement, and innovation. Opportunities to solve real problems and network, find mentors, intern, and co-op with Fortune 500 and other leading companies are plentiful.

As a technological university, Lawrence Tech is in a unique position to offer you exposure through interdisciplinary student projects to fields you may not encounter in a traditional program. Familiarity with architecture and design, the sciences, and engineering can give you a distinct advantage in today’s technologically driven job market.
