Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics

The B.S. in applied mathematics is offered with five options: computer sciences, engineering, environmental sciences, business, and education. Each student must select one option and meet its requirements. The options provide a field of application for the mathematics student. All options carry the same mathematics requirement but differ in required support subjects. The applied mathematics program provides a solid foundation in undergraduate mathematics in preparation for graduate study or for a position in business or industry.

Please note that students are required to follow the course balance sheet on which they enrolled.  This may vary from the information reflected on this site.  Students should contact the College of Engineering & Natural Sciences' Advising Office for a copy of their active balance sheets.

Course requirements for all Applied Mathematics majors include:

  • 33 credits of Mathematics Professional courses listed below except MATH 3553 and MATH 4083 where students can choose one of the two
  • 9 hours of electives at the 3000 level and above. Elective courses are listed in Other Courses below.
