BS in Mathematics

The BS in Mathematics successfully prepares student for graduate studies, teaching and industry positions, and provides a solid foundation for many other careers.  It offers five concentrations in 7-12 Math, 7-12 Math/Physics, Actuarial Science, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics.

Marketable Skills

Students will develop the following skills:

  • Critical thinking:  Analyze and evaluate issues in order to solve problems and develop informed opinions.
  • Problem-solving: Find solutions to difficult or complex issues.
  • Analytical thinking.
  • Quantitative reasoning.
  • Ability to manipulate precise and intricate ideas.
  • Time management: Prioritize goals and organize time to be more productive and efficient.

Fast Track

The Fast-Track Program enables outstanding undergraduate UTEP students to receive both undergraduate and graduate credit for up to 15 hours of UTEP course work as determined by participating Master's and Doctoral programs.  Not all undergraduate programs have elected to participate in the Fast Track option, so students should see their departmental graduate advisor for information about requirements and guidelines. A list of courses that have been approved for possible use at the graduate level is found here
