Number of Mathematics Majors Continues to Increase

The number of Mathematics majors reached 300 at the end of the 2003-04 academic year. This is a striking increase from 205 majors at the end of 2002-03, and 153 at the end of 2001-02.

The number of ACMS majors has been stable for several years at a little below the program cap of 200. There were 180 ACMS majors at the end of 2003-04.

The combined figure of 480 for the Mathematics and ACMS undergraduate degree programs represents a near-doubling of the combined number of 245 at the end of the 1998-99 academic year.

95 degrees in Mathematics and 75 degrees in ACMS were awarded in June 2004, up from 72 and 67 the year before. The combined figure of 170 is also a near-doubling of the 90 degrees awarded in the two programs in 1998-99. The graph below gives annual totals for the last ten academic years.
