Degree programs

The Mathematics program at Alabama A&M University offers a B.S. in Mathematics, a Minor in Mathematics, and a Minor in Applied Statistics. Students enrolled in in the B.S. in Mathematics program must complete a minor of their choosing, successfully complete the Senior Project (MTH 481), and the program exit assessment. 

At this time, the program consists of about 27 mathematics faculty with research specialities in both pure and applied mathematics. Students are strongly encouraged to conduct research with a faculty member. Many math students also pursue summer internships (including Research Experiences for Undergraduates) and cooperative education experiences.

Though the Mathematics program does not offer a graduate degree at this time, several graduate courses are offered each semester to serve students in other AAMU graduate programs. Graduate students enrolled in the Secondary Education with Mathematics Certification are required to complete 12-15 graduate credit hours as specified by their particular degree program.
