major at the University of Michigan-Flint, you take courses in standard subjects like algebra and geometry. But you also have the opportunity to take innovative courses in subjects like coding theory, cryptography, data science, game theory, mathematical modeling, voting theory, and more.<br><br>Mathematics is both an art and a science. Studying mathematics helps you develop deep reasoning skills, quantitative literacy, and scientific fluency. This combination provides a strong background for a variety of careers in fields like business, government, industry, law, medicine, politics, and teaching, among others.<br><br>We offer two rigorous bachelor\u2019s degrees in mathematics, all of which have honors versions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Mathematics: This program prepares you to take the first two examinations from The Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society before or shortly after graduation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bachelor of Science in Mathematics: This program is a great choice if you want to study mathematics in depth to prepare for graduate school or a career in mathematics or a related field. You choose a concentration in abstract mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematics for data science, or mathematics for social interaction, allowing you to tailor the curriculum to your interests.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:50px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-white-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-secondary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-secondary-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-4\">Why UM-Flint?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important reason to study mathematics at UM-Flint is the quality of our faculty. They\u2019re scholars who are engaged in research, but they come to UM-Flint because they love teaching and helping students succeed. That commitment extends to taking the time to get to know you and work with you individually.<br><br>Every semester you have a mandatory advising session with faculty and the department\u2019s professional academic advisor to discuss course content and selection, curriculum requirements, and your academic progress. You also get guidance about careers and graduate school.<br><br>Here are just a few other reasons you should study mathematics at UM-Flint:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Many of our students get funded to participate in the National Science Foundation\u2019s Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites program. REU Sites supports intensive research by undergraduate students in any NSF-funded area of research during spring\/summer semesters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a paid or volunteer role, you can develop your research skills while working side-by-side with faculty on state-of-the-art research in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/student-research\/undergraduate-research-opportunity-program-urop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program<\/a>&nbsp;or its summer counterpart, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/student-research\/summer-undergraduate-research-experience-sure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Summer Undergraduate Research Experience<\/a>, which offers full- and half-time positions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our Math Tutoring Lab offers help with your classes and opportunities to further develop your mathematical knowledge and teaching skills as a paid tutor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Student Union for Math and the Actuarial Club provide opportunities to plan and attend social events with your fellow math students, attend math conferences, and partner with faculty for outreach programs such as math competitions hosted by UM-Flint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We annually take a group of four to six students to the Joint Meetings of the American Mathematical Society, a huge math conference with thousands of participants, where some present their original research. We also occasionally take students to smaller local conferences: the Michigan Undergraduate Mathematics Competition, sectional meetings of the American Mathematical Society, and meetings of the Mathematics Association of America.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light mt-5 mb-4\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#c9cacd\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2022\/02\/Quotes-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1803\" style=\"width:55px;height:55px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I actually didn\u2019t like math for a long time. But when I got to what would have been my final math course at UM-Flint, I was kind of disappointed, so I switched my major. I have been able to get to know my professors so well.
