funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate
students through its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a
group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs
of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific
research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and
other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases,
assistance with housing and travel. See the following sites for more

Careers
in Math
A
Bachelor's degree in Mathematics opens the door to a variety of
different careers in which you can put to use the problem-solving and
analytical-thinking skills you have developed. It also provides a
solid foundation for further study in graduate or professional
school, including law school or business school.
Below
are some of the positions held by UCI graduates who have received a
Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. These represent only a few of the
possibilities available; some of the options require advanced
education.
The
special tracks in the Math major offer additional preparation for
certain careers, as suggested by their titles.
Watch
for information about Career Night in the Physical Sciences held in
the Winter quarter.
You
can join the http://www.mentornet.net/ and be paired with mentor who
can help you figure out what to do with your degree.
