<p>As a Math major, I did not go the research route. I was strictly an “applied” guy, but at least I can give you insight on your course selection. You probably have to follow the “pure” math emphasis because that is what graduate math programs will look for.</p>
<p>Where some of the more applied Math majors have the option of taking one semester of either Real Analysis or Abstract Algebra, you will have to take the full year of both topics.</p>
