Pursuing a major or minor in Applied Mathematics and Statistics unlocks a world of possibilities for academic enrichment and professional development. Our curriculum fosters a deep understanding of how mathematical modeling contributes to scientific discovery and informed decision-making. You'll build robust quantitative skills through coursework in discrete mathematics, optimization, probability theory, statistical analysis, and differential equations. At Johns Hopkins, applied math and statistics students cultivate an awareness of how mathematical models shape both scientific understanding and practical choices.
Our program establishes comprehensive mathematical proficiency by teaching key areas including discrete structures, optimization techniques, probability distributions, statistical methods, and differential equations. Students enjoy the freedom to investigate complementary fields where mathematics serves as a fundamental tool, spanning life sciences, biomedical applications, financial systems, and economic theory. Many discover opportunities to apply mathematical thinking to less immediately apparent disciplines like environmental systems, computational fields, financial markets, and economic analysis.
Students must have completed high school equivalent qualification.
Applicants should typically receive a minimum of 100 total for the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) with preferred sub-scores of 26 (Reading), 26 (Listening), 22 (Writing), and 25 (Speaking). A score of 7.0 or higher on each band is expected on IELTS, and a score of 75 or higher is expected for the DET.
