General Objectives
The BS Math graduates shall be equipped with enhanced mathematical and critical thinking skills. Graduates are expected to have developed deeper appreciation and understanding of the importance of mathematics in history and in modern world. They will be able to do research or perform jobs that require analytical thinking and quantitative skills.
Specific Objectives
