3+1 BA in Mathematics and MS in Business Analytics Program

Complete your undergraduate and graduate degree in just four years with our new BA in Mathematics and MS in Business Analytics program. You take your undergraduate mathematics courses in the College of Arts and Sciences, and graduate business analytics requirements in UHart’s Barney School of Business. This accelerated program allows you to finish both degrees in the same time it would normally take to finish one, and at a reduced cost.


3+1 Program Information

  • You must maintain a 3.2 GPA to enroll in the Barney grad program the summer after your third year
  • Courses taken in the winter and summer term as part of the undergraduate degree are offered at no extra tuition cost.
  • As a UHart student, you are eligible for the Hawk Alumni Scholarship during the graduate studies portion of the program, which reduces your tuition by 25 percent
  • You are not “locked in” to the schedule and can opt out of the 3+1 accelerated program and change to a 4+1 model.

If you have questions about the program and course schedule, contact Professor and Mathematics Department Chair Fei Xue at xue@hartford.edu.

Peter Kuselias

Mathematics, '26

Peter is turning academic theory into real-world results. He won an internship opportunity last fall with Berkley Financial Specialists of West Hartford, Connecticut, a company that provides customized and comprehensive insurance options to a wide range of commercial organizations and financial institutions. The project has allowed him to apply his data analysis skills in a real-world setting and provides him with the kind of insurance business experience often available only in a professional environment.

I learned a lot about underwriting and risk assessment, as well as how to communicate information in a way that's accessible and thorough. I would like to express my appreciation to Mathematics Professor Fei Xue for working with me to make this project/internship opportunity happen.
