MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
Students can prepare for a wide range of careers that require quantitative skills or critical thinking skills by majoring in mathematics or statistics. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics encourages mathematics and statistics majors to consider studying abroad, as many department faculty have experienced the benefits firsthand.
Mathematics and statistics courses that you take while abroad can count towards your major if you obtain preapproval. With planning, it is also possible to study abroad without taking mathematics or statistics courses. Students who wish to study abroad should consult with their mathematics or statistics academic advisor as early as possible to develop a plan.
Mathematics and Statistics majors should begin the study abroad advising process as early as possible. Tell your academic advisor that you are interested in study abroad at each registration appointment. Together, identify the best terms to go abroad, for summer or semester, based on the courses in your four-year-plan.
The Mathematics and Statistics majors offer a tremendous amount of flexibility for students considering adding study abroad experience to their ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ University degree.

It is important to plan ahead as it is not uncommon for scholarship deadlines to occur much earlier than a ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ or program application deadlines.
There are many study abroad scholarships available for students through ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ University, our partner programs and other external sources, like the US Government. The OEA can help students with the scholarship search and application process. If a scholarship is found outside of the OEA scholarship page, students should have it reviewed by the OEA to determine if it is a viable option.
