The following are the objectives and strategies of the Bc Math Study Program which is part of the 2021 Curriculum document (https://s1math.fmipa.ugm.ac.id/id/list-of-courses/) and was prepared based on the targets of departments, faculties, and universities and is referred to for the development processes of the study program.  

The objectives of the Bc Math Study Program are formulated as follows:

1. Increasing the relevance of the field of science, graduate competence, and management efficiency of Bc Math Study Program.
2. Increasing the number of publications both at national and international levels, both from lecturers and students.
3. Increasing the community service activities involving students and those providing publication outputs and improving learning and research activities.
4. Increasing the level of mobilization for lecturers and students.
5. Forming nationally and internationally accredited study program management system.

The strategies to achieve the goals are as follows:

1. Increased relevance, competence, and efficiency of the Bc Math Study Program. Continuously make improvements and adjustments to the relevance, competence, and efficiency of mathematics. This is done by:
   1. Efforts to increase the GPA of graduates, increase the percentage of graduation on time, increase the percentage of the number of graduates with a GPA of ≥ 3.00, and decrease the average length of study through:
      1. The improvement of teaching-learning methods and academic/final assignment guidance;
      2. The improvement of learning facilities;
      3. Standardized assessments;
