<p>What should I major in with good math skills. I enjoy math and was wondering what I should do with my skills. I was thinking quantitative finance, actuarial, or engineering. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated</p>
<p>Obvious options: math, statistics, computer science, physics, various kinds of engineering, (quantitative) economics, (quantitative) finance</p>
<p>Adding a few lesser possibilities: Accounting, Pharmacy, Management Information Systems</p>
<p>You should donate them to those of us older folks who are beginning to add 25 + 41 and come up with 64. 
</p>
<p>Seriously, these are some excellent areas to examine. You might also take a look at cryptography and computational biology.</p>
<p>Cryptography is a subarea or specialty within computer science and math.</p>
<p>Computational biology is a subarea or specialty within computer science (with some biology, of course).</p>
<p>Actuarial science may be its own major at some schools, but preparation for actuarial work can be done with any major (but with courses in math, statistics, economics, and finance; see <a href=“http://www.beanactuary.com”>http://www.beanactuary.com</a> ).</p>
<p>Accounting and MIS are usually housed in business schools; they generally do not use as advanced math as the other subjects.</p>
<p>Pharmacy is a professional school major. Undergraduate preparation includes pre-pharmacy course work in subjects similar to pre-med course work (biology, chemistry, etc.). Completion of a bachelor’s degree is not always required to enter a PharmD program, but may be favored.</p>
<p>Yes, I was just whetting your whistle, OP, with the cryptography suggestion (it tends to be a graduate study but at most schools u/gs are welcome to participate in colloquia, work in labs, etc.), but there are u/g concentrations/tracks/foci/certificates in Computational Biology or Bioinformatics or Mathematical Biology at some of the ivies and select other schools like MIT, UMD-Baltimore. There’s even a Bachelors in CB at Carnegie Mellon, Iowa State, and UCLA, and probably some others. Computational Biology has been a topic on CC, so you might want to check there for more information if you’re interested. </p>
