Workers with the ability to think analytically and solve complex problems are in high demand in America’s workplace and beyond – and they are paid salaries commensurate with those abilities. DePauw offers actuarial science and mathematics as majors, and applied statistics data science and mathematics as minors – the very disciplines in demand for today’s top business jobs, as identified by U.S. News and World Report: statistician, data scientist, actuary, operations research analyst and mathematician.
Students interested in pursuing professional programs, such as law school or medical school, find that a mathematics degree from DePauw separates them from the pack. Other students expand their future job prospects and cause their resumes to rise to the top by pairing a major in actuarial science or mathematics with another discipline, such as economics, computer science, physics or pre-engineering.
