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.

• Scope of research spans Algebra, Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, Control Theory, Differential Equations, Geometry and Topology, Mathematical Biology, Physics, and Statistics.
• Our faculty includes many prestigious professors.
• We emphasize practical applications of complex mathematical formulas and theorems.

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.

EXPLORING MATHEMATICS SOLUTIONS FOR REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS

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.

Career Possibilities: B.S., Mathematics (2&2)

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:

• Financial analyst
  Design and implement research systems to improve your organization’s financial management.
• Investment banker
  Use data analysis to acquire funds for a bank through venture capital and stock investments.
• Biostatistician
  Create, analyze, and translate healthcare data in order to improve methods, processes, and research efforts in the medical field.
• Operations research analyst
  Study the behaviors and systems of an organization in order to advise the company on how to improve manufacturing processes, properly allocate resources, and maximize efficiency.
