Pure Mathematics Concentration
The pure mathematics concentration emphasizes abstract mathematics. For those students who intend to pursue graduate study in mathematics, this concentration provides them with a strong background in mathematical theory. There are many career opportunities for students with a pure mathematics concentration with employers who are looking for people with mathematical analytical skills.
The major in mathematics with the pure mathematics concentration requires 62 units completed with a grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher.
