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.

Kelly Insalaco

Mathematics, '22

Kelly is an actuarial analyst at Selective Insurance in the Personal Lines Pricing department where she prepares pricing proposals and state rate filings for Auto, Home, and Umbrella insurance. She also conducts various analyses related to determining an indicated rate need using internal and industry-wide experience/trends. These results are then directly communicated to the company's business partners and senior management executives. Much of this work involves thinking outside of the conventional approaches to problem solving,

I have been able to succeed in this role thanks to the skills obtained from my experience at the University of Hartford. I was given multiple opportunities to apply my classroom experience to various research and internship projects. Much of this exposure can be attributed to faculty support, as every professor looked for ways to help me achieve success both inside and outside the classroom. In addition, thanks to the flexibility to choose from a range of mathematics electives, I was able to specifically tailor my schedule to my interests, and in turn develop a wide range of skills that could be applied to various work environments.
