From our economic models to our social media algorithms, from infrastructure to statistics, mathematical principles are the foundation of how we measure, plan, and organize our world. Mathematicians are the problem-solvers we need to make sense of these principles, making them essential in every industry.
Studying Mathematics at Texas Tech-Costa Rica involves taking first- and second-year courses in Costa Rica. Then, you’ll move as an international student to the university’s main campus in Lubbock, Texas, where you will finish the second half of the bachelor’s program.
In Lubbock, you won’t need to worry about whether your classes in Costa RIca meet requirements, nor will you need to transfer any credits. The credits you earn here are Texas Tech credits, and your advisor in Costa Rica prepares you for your years in Texas.
The Texas Tech Mathematics and Statistics Department is dedicated to balancing research and high-quality education to produce top-level graduates in our field. We are also committed to giving students the chance to explore different areas of application in order to best equip them with marketable skills upon graduation. A degree in mathematics will give you the tools you need to analyze data, explore creative solutions, and impact organizations as they explore modern challenges.
Because of the complexities of data analysis, algorithm development, and assessment of market trends, opportunities for mathematicians span virtually every job market.
Some possible jobs for math-trained graduates are:
