Opportunities

Study-Abroad

Every OU math major has the opportunity to study mathematics abroad. See the many opportunities at this link. While these study abroad opportunities cover many different majors, there is one program in Budapest specifically geared towards mathematics majors.

Budapest Semester in Mathematics is a 14-week program (or 8 weeks in the summer). Students from across the US and the globe converge on Budapest, which lies on the border of both Europe and Asia. The requirements are fairly minimal, only one semester of real analysis or algebra and at least a sophomore in college.

Internships

As you might know, math majors are one of the most sought after groups of students for internship programs. This is due largely to the fact that our courses do not simply train students in using a particular set of tools, but rather they help to develop robust critical thinking and problem solving skills.

The OU Math Club regularly hosts local/national companies who are actively recruiting and seeking out math majors.

We encourage all students interested in internships to visit with career services on campus. This group can help you improve your resume/CV and introduce you to services like "handshake".

Of note, students can sign up for credit for participating in an internship via CAS 4630.

Conferences

Students who are curious about research mathematics, or who might want to present research they have done, should consider attending a regional/national math conference. Below are some conferences of note.

Support for attending conferences

Both the Math Department and the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) have a limited amount of travel assistance available for undergraduate students. For Math Department funding, please contact the main office (PHSC 423). For information about CAS funding, see here.
