Are you interested in taking more math, or interested in a math-heavy major?

The usual courses after single variable calculus (calculus BC) are multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations (the latter two are often combined). These are typical math courses for math, statistics, physical science, engineering, pre-PhD or quantitative economics majors. Computer science majors generally will take linear algebra and discrete math; those in engineering-based programs will also take multivariable calculus and differential equations.

Beyond that, math majors will take upper level math courses with a much greater emphasis on proofs (e.g. real analysis, abstract algebra); some statistics, physics, and economics majors will take some of those courses as well. Computer science majors typically take proof-heavy upper level computer science theory courses.
