About the Department

The Mathematics Department offers undergraduate majors leading to Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees in mathematics. It also offers a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Management, as well as a minor in mathematics.

What do you do with a major in Mathematics?

The B.A. in Mathematics combines a fundamental core of required mathematics courses with the flexibility to. choose from a wide range of electives, while the B.S. degree is designed to give students an appreciation of the applications of mathematics to the sciences. Students electing the B.S. in Mathematics Management take the core mathematics courses, but also take several courses in the Business School.

The need for qualified mathematicians will be greater than ever in the next decade. As a math graduate, you will find challenging and rewarding employment as a researcher, teacher, actuary, statistician, applied mathematician, or manager. Or you may want to pursue further training in these fields or in many others. The program can also prepare you for law school, medical school, business school, public health, or government work.

What is unique about Mathematics at the University of Hartford?

The department's faculty are in the forefront of current work in both research and the teaching of mathematics. Classes are small and supportive, and you are encouraged to discuss class assignments and problems during frequent office hours.

You'll find technology used extensively throughout the mathematics curriculum. For example, all of our calculus students use graphing calculators, and there is a classroom specifically designed to teach mathematics using computer software. If you need additional help with any of your courses, you can tap the expertise of the faculty and the best Department majors who staff our Mathematics Tutoring Lab. This lab, open more than 50 hours a week, serves as a resource for freshmen and sophomores, and a valuable experience for juniors and seniors. While completing a challenging curriculum in mathematics, you have the opportunity to work in local corporations as part of our cooperative education (Co-Op) program. Students who qualify for the program can gain academic credit and earn high wages for this valuable experience.
