Bachelor of Mathematics - Definition and Overview

A Bachelor of Mathematics is an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a courses taken in the study of mathematics or related disciplines, such as computer science or statistics.

In practice, this is essentially equivalent to a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree with a specialty in mathematics. Relatively few institutions award Bachelor of Mathematics degrees, and the distinction between institutions which do award such degrees and those which award B.Sc or B.A. degrees for mathematics is usually one of university bureaucracy, rather than curriculum.

The Bachelor of Mathematics degree is frequently abbreviated as B.Math.
