Undergraduate Program
Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathmatics Degree Program
During the first two years, mathematics majors share many courses with other students. The mathematics curriculum includes courses with extensive theoretical content, as well as applied courses from related departments. Students can choose electives that will enable them to apply mathematics to engineering, the physical sciences, biological sciences, environmental studies, social sciences and business applications. Mathematics graduates who have successfully completed the program are prepared to pursue graduate work or take their place in industry along with engineers and scientists.

Note: Upper-division math courses may be offered in alternate years. Positioning of electives is unrestricted.
Elective Restrictions Choices of electives are subject to approval by the student's advisor. Math electives must include at least one proof-based course in addition to the required courses in discrete math and analysis. Examples of suitable courses include MTH 4015 Abstract Algebra and MTH 4105 Topology, MTH 4801 Advanced Geometry.
Applied area electives must be taken from a single area of application. Typically, this means from a single department or program other than mathematics. Any science or engineering program can be chosen. Suitably chosen management courses (courses with math prerequisites) can also be taken.
At least 30 elective credits must be at the 3000+ level.
