Luke’s Answer

You might have to rephrase your question as it is a little unclear. But if you are asking "which major has the most math classes?" then Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering would be the most obvious answers. Math and Physics majors will be geared more towards the theory while Engineering uses lots of math but it is applied. Having said that, to major in Engineering you will still have to take Calculus 1 through 3 (and maybe another supplementary math course) at most accredited universities in the US.

I listed Math, Physics, and Engineering because those are the most common majors but other concentrations like Statistics, Astronomy, Finance, etc. would also include math courses.

Andrew’s Answer

I would try to re-interpret your question as: what is the major that involve heavily in mathematics?

Well, mathematics is the language of science and technology. Hence, STEM disciplines and other disciplines such as statistics, economics, and finance are mathematics intensive.

Edgar’s Answer

This is the main question I asked myself when deciding what to major in. I looked in my local universities and my favorite was Financial Engineering. The math level needed to be a financial engineer is one of the highest amongst all engineering paths and also very useful since it combines math with programming and finance which are great for business right now. You could even work for the government since it involves economics as well.

Furthermore, you could also consider majoring in math since it has a lot of space to move. Top companies worldwide need people who can develop complex math models.

Edgar recommends the following next steps:

Review your preferred universities curricula.

Caleigh’s Answer

If you are interested in studying math in college one thing you should consider is whether you want to study theoretical or applied math. Theoretical math may look more like a typical Mathematics major where the theory behind mathematics is studied. This major is ideal if you are interested in going into academia or research in the future. In applied math, you study the formulas and statistics used in everyday life. The base of this major is applying math to solve real world problems.
