BA/BS in Applied Mathematics

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics teaches students to tackle practical problems through mathematical modeling, numerical methods and computer simulation. Like the mathematics BS, it contains a linear algebra and analysis core, but replaces abstract algebra and complex analysis with computing and probability. Technical electives cover differential equations, modeling and probability applications. The degree builds a foundation for graduate study in applied mathematics and for applied research and industry work. The department's undergraduate programs begin with the same four calculus and differential equations courses, and each degree requires at least 120 credit hours. Combined bachelor's/master's options are also offered. Prospective students can request information from the department and review the full application steps on the official program page before applying. The page also lists contact details and further resources for applicants with questions about fit or next steps.
