The Mathematics Department is very much interested in assisting its students with the difficult decisions involved in choosing a career. We encourage you to discuss your career plans (including graduate school) with your advisor and professors. Todd Quinto has a collection of information on careers and would be happy to talk to you. He also has information on his website. The bulletin board in the student study area on the third floor of Bromfield-Pearson is now devoted to information and announcements related to careers. Keep your eye on it!

Here are a few specifics.

Graduate school in mathematics: Information on the programs at many universities (including Tufts!) is available in the Department office. Your advisor and professors will be happy to give you their opinions about many of these programs.

Service programs: Information about the Peace Corps, Teach for America, City Year and other programs will be posted.

Accounting: Todd Quinto has information (including a video) on careers in public accounting.

Actuarial science: General information is available in the Department office. Information about internship programs and the exams will be posted.

Law and business: The pre-law and pre-business advisors in the Office of Undergraduate Studies in Ballou can help you. In general, our majors feel that their mathematical background is a real advantage in these careers.

Teaching: Prof. Teixidor is our liaison to the Education Department. See her for information about certification or talk directly with the members of the Education Department.

Operations research, banking, civil service, computers and industry: Keep your eye on the bulletin board.

The Career Counseling Center has information about writing resumes and job hunting in general. They also organize on-campus interviews. There are job fairs from time to time at various locations. Each January, for example, there is a fair organized by the Actuarial Society of Greater New York. Again, keep your eye on our bulletin board.

Come to the career talks organized by the Department. These are informal sessions conducted by students, alumni and professionals eager to share their experiences with you. Please let us know if there are specific careers you would like to see presented. Last fall we had talks on the actuarial, teaching, and accounting professions.
