The applied mathematics major provides students with an array of courses that build mathematical skills . Students graduate with a solid background in mathematics and statistics and the ability to use data to solve problems in various disciplines . Critical and analytic thinking skills make applied mathematics majors highly employable in government , the private sector , and education .
In addition to their core mathematics coursework , students choose a track that allows them to pursue their mathematical interests in a particular field . These tracks are :
• Actuarial Mathematics , which prepares students to work toward careers as actuaries in insurance , financial , and government careers .
• Business Mathematics , which prepares students to work in financial , managerial , and business analysis careers .
• Scientific Mathematics , which prepares students to work in pharmaceutical , medical , and scientific careers .
• Interdisciplinary Mathematics , which prepares students to work in educational and more general mathematical careers .
Each student in the major will also complete a senior capstone course , choosing either a research option or an internship option . Our capstone course enables students to apply their mathematical skills to gain career-oriented , practical experience .
