The Department of Mathematics at Montclair State University is committed to supporting all learners in appreciating the power, roles, relevance, and beauty of mathematics within a dynamic, collaborative, and personalized environment. Through our undergraduate and graduate programs, we encourage students to think critically and creatively, pose and pursue purposeful questions, and approach problems from multiple perspectives. Our department embraces and advances mathematical connections among the sciences, arts, humanities, and in the business world, and creates opportunities for students to explore and pursue their interests at the intersections of these disciplines. In addition to preparing students for graduate studies, we also support them as they become more informed citizens and prepare them for a variety of careers including teaching and other jobs that meet their aspirations and the needs of an ever-changing society.<br><br>The 4 plus 1 Bachelor's/MBA is a five year program, during which students will spend three years taking courses required for their chosen bachelor's degree program and in their fourth year, they will complete (along with required undergraduate program courses) 6 credits worth of graduate business (MBA) coursework. This will satisfy both undergraduate degree requirements and count toward achievement of the MBA degree. In the fifth year, students will take graduate courses required for a General MBA, in a full-time format.
