Many employers and graduate programs recognize that a sound training in the tools of mathematics and rigorous thought, with emphasis on applied and computational techniques, is excellent preparation for work in any technical direction. The interdepartmental ACMS program offers a Bachelor of Science degree which builds on the strengths of four mathematical science departments to provide a firm foundation in all aspects of applied and computational mathematics. A core set of courses in the basic tools common to many disciplines is followed by a broad set of options which encourage an in-depth study in some particular direction. Students with specific interests in another area may pursue a double major. Bachelor of Science See the program's Web site or current program brochure for more details on requirements and options.
