Welcome to Undergraduate Mathematics at UCSC

The Mathematics Department at UCSC offers a major program (leading to a B.A. degree) and a minor program. The department also serves the thousands of non-majors each year who take undergraduate mathematics courses to augment their studies in other disciplines. Everyone’s math study at UCSC begins with “Enrolling in Your First UCSC Math Course”.

The requirements for the Mathematics B.A. include:

• Introductory Requirements
• Major requirements for the Pure Track, the Education Track or the Computational Track
• The Comprehensive Requirement

The three tracks leading to the B.A. degree give students a strong background for graduate study, for teaching, or for work in industry or government. The mathematics program also provides an excellent liberal arts background from which to pursue a variety of career opportunities. A double major or minor in mathematics can be a powerful addition to studies in other disciplines, such as physics, engineering, biology, psychology, sociology, or legal studies.
