Bachelor of Science - Applied Mathematics (Optional Co-op)

Applied mathematicians develop models for perfecting global positioning systems, analyzing cost-effectiveness in manufacturing processes, or improving digital encryption software. The applied mathematics major focuses on the study and solution of problems that can be mathematically analyzed across industrial fields and research disciplines.

The applied mathematics major focuses on the study and solution of problems that can be mathematically analyzed. Industry, academia, and government all have a great need for individuals with this type of education. Students will gain the knowledge and skills to collaborate on complex problems with scientists, engineers, computer specialists, or other analysts. Some application areas include applied statistics; biology; business; economics; chemistry; electrical, industrial, or mechanical engineering; operations research; and imaging science.

Graduates typically are employed in scientific, engineering, business, or government environments, applying their mathematics background to the analysis and solution of real-world problems.

Accelerated dual degree options are for undergraduate students with outstanding academic records. Upon acceptance, well-qualified undergraduate students can begin graduate study before completing their BS degree, shortening the time it takes to earn both degrees. Students should consult an academic advisor for more information.
