Choosing a major for most students is about committing to a certain path and letting go of the rest. Dr. Adam Clay, professor and associate head graduate at the mathematics department, tells us that whatever degree you choose at the university will focus your training and skill sets in a way that opens doors and closes some for your future.

“A degree in mathematics closes the fewest doors and opens the most.”

Adam Clay, Professor, Associate Head Graduate, Mathematics
