Mathematics

Need to love math theory and application in more conceptual basis.

Its horrible. If you really want to do something, major in some applied field.

I love this major everyone is so nice and amazing and great!

I love math, the program here when you reach the upper division classes is really good, the teachers do want you to learn they aren’t there just to test you and everyone is so passionate.

I love the people the most as part of my major, although I do appreciate how it teaches you to think!

Mathematics is definitely a passion major! Met a lot of great people, who I value a lot more than math I’ve learned :)

I enjoy how it applies to anything, and many careers opportunities are intertwined with mathematics

This major is helpful if you want a career as an academic researcher, but another major such as data science or applied mathematics would be much more beneficial to break into another industry

The Math major at UCLA is challenging, fast-paced, and incredibly rewarding if you enjoy abstract thinking and problem solving. The curriculum is broad and rigorous, covering everything from real analysis and linear algebra to differential equations, abstract algebra, and probability theory. Many of the upper-division courses are proof-based, which pushes you to think deeply and communicate your reasoning clearly — it’s not about memorizing formulas, but about understanding why things work.
