The BS in Applied Mathematics and Statistics program contains a common set of core courses in applied mathematics and statistics, foundational courses in computing with the Python programming language and an application-area sequence. These courses provide students with a broad introduction to important theoretical, computational, and statistical techniques. The application-area sequence provides a base of knowledge in a particular field of study with options including: biology, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental science, economics or physics.<\/p>\n
Beyond the common courses, the BS in Applied Mathematics and Statistics comprises three tracks, of which students choose one:<\/p>\n
Regardless of track, each student must also satisfy the experiential learning component, choosing either an internship or capstone project.<\/p>\n
The department is creating a B.S. in Chemistry degree with a concentration in Business. The program<\/a> includes the core Chemistry courses with an additional selection of Business courses. Within the Business concentration, three tracks are offered: entrepreneurship, professional selling, and management.<\/p>\n This new concentration is designed for students with an interest in the business\u00a0aspects of the (bio)chemical and pharmaceutical industry, such as technical and chemical sales, management, logistics, and marketing. Students will receive a strong foundation in chemistry and learn the fundamentals of business. They will be well prepared for entry-level positions in the chemical industry and related fields.<\/p>\n Students can apply for this program after their freshman year if they have a GPA of 2.7 or higher. Interested students should contact the chairperson<\/a> or Dr. Hendrik Eshuis<\/a> for more information. View the new\u00a0curriculum<\/a>.<\/p>\nData Science Programs<\/h2>\n
