Whether you plan a career in technology, science, healthcare, engineering or business, a mathematics degree can better prepare you for your profession. What’s more, you may earn
more than colleagues who lack a math degree. These fields need professionals with the skills that those with math degrees possess, such as acumen in critical thinking and problem-solving.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that demand for math majors will increase by 28 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations, adding about 67,200 jobs. The growth is anticipated as businesses and government agencies continue to emphasize the use of bigdata, requiring employees with mathematical and analytical skills.

The focus

Classes in the major focus on your development of analytical thinking, computational skill and statistical reasoning.

Mathematics involves the study of quantity, logic, pattern, abstraction and change. It is the science of deductive reasoning. Its tools are essential for making data-driven decisions. Its study deepens our ability to think critically and solve problems. It plays a fundamental role in science and related disciplines, unlocking their potential to improve the human condition by providing a universal language that can express conjecture, fact and comprehension.

Whatever career you choose, Florida Gulf Coast University’s mathematics program can help prepare you for it. Classes in the major are taught by a diverse and international faculty composed of highly qualified men and women. All take pride in helping students reach their greatest potential.

Students who earn FGCU undergraduate and graduate degrees often go on to pursue higher degrees at graduate schools such as the University of Florida, Clemson University, Florida State University and University of Iowa.
