| - | * BA in Mathematics: Broad exposure to mathematics and statistics with an emphasis on practical applications. Requires fewer math courses, giving you flexibility to explore other fields (e.g., languages, arts, natural and social sciences). It’s often the most efficient path to a double major or dual degree. | + | * **BA in Mathematics:** Broad exposure to mathematics and statistics with an emphasis on practical applications.

| - | * BS in Mathematics: More demanding, with additional upper-level and proof-oriented coursework. Designed for students aiming at graduate study in mathematics, statistics, or related fields. Our BS also includes an actuarial track for those who want more preparation toward actuarial exams. | + | * **BS in Mathematics:** More demanding, with additional upper-level and proof-oriented coursework.

| - | * Both degrees: Require the same total number of credits; the BS simply includes more math courses. The BA is not an inferior degree—it’s a different pathway aligned with different goals. Choose the option that best fits your interests and plans after graduation. | + | * **Both degrees:** Require the same total number of credits; the BS simply includes more math courses.
