The Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS) bachelor's program equips students with quantitative skills for business and industry careers, focusing on practical methods from probability, statistics, operations research, and actuarial mathematics. AMS students often pair their major with another discipline, tailoring their studies to align with professional goals and personal interests across applied math and statistics fields. Accelerated options exist for combining undergraduate and master's studies. Though sample course tracks are provided, faculty guidance is highly recommended to align academic paths with career objectives. Juniors planning graduate studies should meet with the department's graduate advisor during spring semester for school selection guidance and GRE information. The program also accommodates those pursuing secondary math education careers.
High-achieving students can pursue a combined B.S./M.P.H. track, applying up to 12 shared graduate credits toward both degrees, enabling completion of both programs in five years instead of the typical timeframe.
