Major Code: 7079

Degree Awarded: Bachelor of Science
Delivery Mode(s): Classroom Admission Status: Undergraduate
Location(s): Main Campus - Melbourne  

The bachelor’s program in applied mathematics prepares undergraduate students for industry and for well-recognized graduate programs in applied mathematics or related areas. The major covers core topics that provide a rigorous mathematical background involving mathematical techniques and ways of thinking that can be used in a wide variety of careers. During the first two years, applied mathematics majors share courses with science and engineering majors, enabling dual degree opportunities for students. The program provides an opportunity to choose concentrations in areas of interest that include applications to data sciences, computational mathematics and biomathematics. Applied mathematics students are provided a solid mathematics background and analytical and computational skills required to create new mathematical methods and tools for the solution of complex real-world problems and prepare them for the STEM workforce in industry and academia. 

Curriculum

Spring (15 credit hours)


  • Applied area elective credit hours: 3
  • Restricted elective (MTH 3000-level or higher) credit hours: 6
  • Technical elective credit hours: 3
  • Concentration credit hours: 3

Science Core


Select 7 credit hours from the following:

Electives


Restricted electives (9 credit hours total) must be MTH courses at the 3000-level or higher. The most typical choices are the following:

  • Technical area electives (9 credits total) must be math, computer science, engineering or science courses involving technology. 
  • Applied area electives (12 credits total) 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 mathematics prerequisites) can also be taken.
  • At least 30 elective credit hours must be at the 3000-level (or higher).
  • Courses that count toward a concentration (see below) cannot also count toward any elective requirements. 
  • Note: Upper-division mathematics courses may be offered in alternate years.

Concentrations


  • Students doing a concentration must select 12 credit hours from any one of the following concentrations.
  • Students not doing a concentration can select 12 credit hours freely from the courses below.

Total Credits Required: 123
