Applied Mathematics

Interested in applying your aptitude for math to real-world problems in science, computer science, engineering, business, or industry? Applied Mathematics might be the field for you. You’ll take courses in calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, operations research, numerical analysis, and physics and apply them to real-life situations, such as predicting the behavior of financial markets, explaining the risk factors of insuring a company, or building a bridge.

Course Requirement Definitions:
Elective Requirement: Additional courses necessary to earn enough credits for a degree outside of Major and STAGE requirements.
First Year Seminar (FYS): Introductory course to the academic experience, emphasizing the skills necessary for academic success.
Major Requirement: Courses are core to this major and are subject matter-specific.
Stage Requirement: Courses are part of our STAGE General Education program, and must be taken to earn a degree. Learn more here>
