Applied Mathematics

Specialize in one of three industry-aligned concentrations:

Data science: This concentration blends math, statistics, and computer science to uncover insights from data. You’ll gain skills in modeling, machine learning, visualization, coding, and more through lectures, labs, and industry projects.

Mathematical foundations of intelligence: In this concentration, you’ll build strong skills in applied math, machine learning, optimization, probability, and computation as you prepare for advanced AI careers or doctoral study in applied mathematics, statistics, and related fields.

Operations research: Students in this concentration focus on mathematical modeling and optimization to solve complex problems. You’ll build skills in decision analysis, stochastic processes, and more through applied math and problem-solving in areas like supply chain, finance, and systems engineering.

Elective option: Tailor advanced coursework to your interests through the elective option, with applications in fields like computer science, engineering, finance, and more. This track supports personalized training in applied math or preparation for PhD programs.

• Optional co-op: Gain hands-on industry experience in finance, data science, tech, or research during your studies.
• Evening classes: Courses meet in the evenings to accommodate working professionals and busy schedules.
• Small class sizes: In-person classes foster meaningful interaction with faculty and peers, enhancing learning and networking opportunities.
• Tailored curriculum: Take up to two courses outside the mathematics department to align your studies with your unique career goals.
• Weekly seminars: Attend talks from visiting experts and faculty on cutting-edge applied and pure mathematics research.
• Real-world projects: Some courses include in-class projects tackling practical challenges for industry clients.
