Learn to use math as a problem-solving tool in industry, laboratory, and technology settings.
This Bachelor of Science degree offered by the Mathematics Department has two possible concentrations:
-
Applied and Pure Math
The Applied and Pure Mathematics Concentration is the most “traditional” concentration and students pursuing it will have a solid foundation for various math careers ahead of them. Students interested in going to graduate school in fields like mathematics or physics or working on mathematical modeling in industry or research laboratories, might want to consider the Applied and Pure Mathematics Concentration.
-
Computational Math
The Computational Mathematics Concentration provides broad math education with an emphasis on computer and mathematical models as tools to solve real-world problems. Students graduating in this concentration would be qualified to look for jobs, for example, in actuarial companies, finance, machine learning industry or apply to grad schools in computational and data-driven sciences, like computer science, engineering or medical research.
Degree Requirements consist of the Core Requirement, Concentration Requirement, Capstone Requirement, and Science Requirement. (Additional requirements for the General BS degree are also listed under Concentration Requirement.) Except for the Concentration Requirement, these requirements are common to all concentrations and to the general BS degree.
