Applied Mathematics Done Your Way
The BS in Applied Mathematics and Statistics offers multiple pathways toward a degree, including five-year combined programs for students who know from the get-go that they want to pursue a Master’s degree.
Concentrations Tailored For You
Choose from three academic tracks to tailor your studies to your professional and academic goals.
The Applied Mathematics track emphasizes the use of mathematics to solve real-world problems in the sciences, engineering, business, and industry. You’ll gain deep knowledge in advanced calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, while also exploring numerical methods, optimization, and mathematical modeling. This track is ideal if you want to apply mathematics to physical and social sciences or prepare for graduate study in applied mathematics and related fields.
The Statistics track provides rigorous training in probability theory, statistical inference, and data analysis. You’ll develop skills in statistical computing, and experimental design. This track prepares you for careers in actuarial science, data science, biostatistics, and applied research, or for graduate study in statistics and quantitative disciplines.
The Mathematics of Finance track is designed for students interested in applying advanced mathematics and statistics to finance and investment. Courses include Mathematics of Finance I and II, Mathematics of Portfolio Theory, and Applied Analysis, along with options for research or cooperative education. You’ll also study numerical or statistical computing to strengthen your computational skills. This track prepares you for careers in financial modeling, risk management, actuarial analysis, and quantitative finance, or for graduate programs in applied mathematics and financial engineering.
Combined Degree Programs
These five-year programs streamline your journey and result in both a Bachelor’s of Science and a Master’s degree – ideal for students who want to go on to research or teaching in a university or who want a competitive edge when entering the job market.
This combined degree program allows you to complete your undergraduate degree and a master’s in Applied Mathematics and Statistics in just five years. In your senior year, you’ll take graduate “swing” courses that count toward both degrees. You’ll complete your M.S. in a fifth year of graduate study—giving you an advantage in data-intensive and analytical career paths.
Combine your analytical skills with business acumen through this 4+1 program. Begin MBA coursework as an undergraduate and take 6 credits of “swing” courses during your senior year. In your fifth year, you’ll complete the remaining MBA courses full-time and graduate with both degrees. Students must submit a form of intent to the MBA Office and apply to Graduate Admissions for official acceptance.
