What can I expect from a math major?

<p>I have a BS in Math so maybe I can help. My course requirements under math major is all of Calculus I-IV (it was a quarter course, semester course might be different), about 5 upper math division courses, one computer programming language, a technical writing course; required elective courses from pure science, math, or engineering courses (I elected 4 physics courses and 2 chemistry course since I transferred from physics major); and then all the courses your college/university wants all students to take to graduate, like Physical Education, History, Speech, English, Political Science, etc. With internships, you may have to take a college course for that to make you interned with a company. I don’t remember my college having any internship courses in math. After earning a bachelor in math, you have the option to be a teacher in kindergarten to high school. There may be government or private companies for math graduates, but very rare for only a bachelor degree. When you get a master in math, you can teach in community colleges also. After you get your PhD in math, you can be a professor in a university and you may find some jobs in the government or private sector, depending on your specialty. In summary, there are not a lot of visible career options for math majors other than education. And since there are not a lot of math majors, you can easily get a job teaching high school math or even calculus to advanced students.</p>
