I thought this was true of math almost anywhere. Those who are serious will take hard courses and learn a lot, there is no ceiling. The reward isn't a high GPA, but if something formal is needed, a transcript naming what you took ought to be fairly readable. Perfect scores on soft math-accounting courses won't open any doors.
Engineering programs are a bit different, and more interested in making sure the floor is high. More like medicine in that they are concerned that a certified professional should be competent.
- ghaff 6y agoMath is also a bit of an outlier in that, to a greater degree than most STEM majors, what's relatively easy for some is "I could just as soon flap my arms and fly as graduate with a math degree" for others. My math was OK enough to graduate with an engineering degree. I could never have contemplated getting a math degree. (Probably uniquely among degrees where I went. Well, maybe physics, but same thing.)
