Introduction to the Mathematics Program
The Mathematics program at the University of Texas at Dallas is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of mathematical concepts and their applications. Mathematics is both a profession and an indispensable tool for many types of work, and it has been crucial in formulating and expressing ideas not only in science and engineering but also in many other areas such as business and the social sciences.

Specializations
- Mathematics Specialization: For students interested in a career in mathematics and for those who choose to continue their education at the graduate level in mathematics.
- Statistics Specialization: For students interested in probability and statistical models and their use in data analysis and decision making.
- Applied Mathematics Specialization: For students interested in mathematics for the purpose of using it broadly in various application areas.
UTeach Option
The UTeach option may be added to either the BA or BS degree, allowing students to complete both a rigorous Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree and all coursework for middle or high school teacher certification in four years.
Fast Track Baccalaureate/Master's Degrees
Accelerated BS/MS Fast Tracks are available for students with strong academic records who intend to pursue master's studies at UT Dallas. Students may take up to 15 semester credit hours of approved graduate courses in their senior year to use toward completion of both the BS and MS degrees.
