Careers
RIT graduates are well-prepared to apply their knowledge of mathematics to a career. A recent study ranked two jobs that complement a mathematics degree; Actuary #1 and Statistician #3 are the fastest growing jobs in the country. (http://247wallst.com/2012/08/28/the-best-job-opportunities-of-the-future/) The average starting salary for Mathematics majors is $46,200 a year, but this can climb to as high as $89 - $94,000 for career mathematicians.
