Yes. Haverford offers a number of statistics courses, including MATH/STAT H203 and MATH/STAT H286, that can be counted as electives towards the math major. Any stats course at the 200-level or higher can count as a math elective. Please note that ECON B304: Econometrics also includes a great deal of statistics and counts as an elective towards the math major.

It is also possible to obtain a minor in statistics at Haverford. You can learn more about the minor here: .

A: Increasing numbers of undergraduates are getting a sneak preview at research mathematics by attending one of the many Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU's) offered each summer throughout the country. You can . Students may also apply for a summer stipend to do research at ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï with a professor.

During the academic year, research may be done for credit by making arrangements with a faculty member and then enrolling in MATH B403 (Supervised Work) or MATH B400 (Senior Research). Research in the summers and during the academic year is encouraged for a student if it meets their career goals, but it is not required for the major. In all circumstances, research should not be viewed as a substitute for enrolling in advanced courses in the major.

Yes! In fact, some students participate in our A.B./M.A. program where at the end of 4 years, students earn both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree.  Here is a document that gives more information about the A.B./M.A. program.

Yes, math majors can study abroad. Some math courses taken abroad may count towards the major with prior approval. With advanced planning, it would also be possible to complete the math major in four years without taking any math courses while studying abroad.

In recent years, math majors have studied abroad in Hungary (Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Program), in Russia (Math in Moscow Program), in Italy (Florence International Studies Program), in Scotland (University of Edinburgh), in Sweden (DIS Stockholm), in France (APA Paris), in Germany (IES Freiburg – Environmental Studies and Sustainability Program), at King’s College London, at London School of Economics, at Tsuda College in Japan, and in Spain (Barcelona – Liberal Arts and Business Program through IES Abroad), among other places.

For the last several years, the Math Department has organized Math Major Study Abroad Panels, so that first and second year students can learn about different study abroad experiences from senior math majors who studied abroad the previous year.

Students thinking of studying abroad and majoring in mathematics should contact the Math Major Study Abroad Advisor Leslie Cheng at .

Yes, a math course taken at another college or university can count for the math major, provided the course is approved by the Math Department and you receive a merit grade. You should talk with a math advisor ahead of time to find out if the course you are thinking of taking can be approved. 

Being a grader or a TA is a great opportunity to reinforce course material. Students can apply for employment in the Mathematics Department. Positions that are available each academic year are as follows: grader of homework assignments, problem session instructor, mathematics computer lab supervisor and grader of labs, or office assistant to the academic administrative assistant for the Mathematics Department. Any questions should be directed to Amy N. Myers at anmyers@brynmawr.edu. Additional information is available at this link: /math/jobs.
