Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics
Emphasis in Applied Mathematics
This emphasis is designed to train the student in those areas of mathematics which may be applied to formulate and solve problems in other disciplines. The program is designed to qualify the student for employment as an applied mathematician, but the graduate would also be well prepared for graduate study in pure or applied mathematics.
Preparation for the major (28 units)
Must be completed with a grade of C (2.0) or better, and cannot be taken for credit/no credit (Cr/NC). The cumulative GPA in Math 245, Math 252, and Math 254 must be a C+ (2.3) or better.

Auxiliary area (10+ units)
The intent is to train the student in some depth in an area to which mathematics may be applied. Some latitude may be allowed in the choice of department and mix of courses, but all programs must be approved by the applied mathematics adviser. The 10 unit requirement is minimal, and a minor in an approved field is highly recommended.
