Mathematics continues to play a major role in developing new technology and solving problems of social importance. Because the uses of mathematics today are so diverse, Wright State offers five concentrations leading to a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics: computing, applied mathematics, statistics, pure mathematics, and mathematics education.

  • A bachelor of arts degree program in mathematics provides a broad background in mathematics with a liberal arts orientation.
  • Dual majors are available with computer science, engineering, and physics.
  • The mathematics education major is designed for students who wish to teach mathematics in Ohio public high schools. Upon completion of the bachelor's degree, prerequisite education courses, and school placements*, students need to complete the graduate-level licensure program in the College of Education and Human Services to be eligible for licensure by the state in Integrated Mathematics Educations.
