A degree in mathematics opens paths to diverse careers.
Earlier this month, 3 local alumni participated in a panel discussion on their career experiences, applying math to actuarial science, biostatistics, and education. They offered many valuable perspectives and advice for students. Some ideas include:
– Math skills are in demand and can set you apart from the crowd;
– Math courses provide a foundation for reasoning and picking up specific new skills such as in programming;
– Research projects and experiences can be life-changing;
– Be proactive, look out for opportunities and find joy in what you’re doing.
