Applied Mathematics, Bachelor of Science

Program Purpose

While some math degree programs dive deeply into advanced mathematics theory, WilmU’s program prepares graduates for the workforce by focusing on solid foundational skills in mathematics, statistics, analysis and communication. Integrating curriculum taught by WilmU’s Mathematics, Business and Technology faculty—experts who apply these concepts in their own careers—this well-rounded STEM program uses project-based learning, coupled with co-ops/internships, to help students develop skills and apply their knowledge in context.

Concentrations

Choose from two concentrations, each with multiple embedded certificates.

Program Competencies

In addition to the University’s undergraduate graduation competencies (aligned with NACE* Career Readiness skills), students will demonstrate knowledge, skills, and abilities related to:

Core Program Competencies

  1. Analyze and solve complex, real-world problems using mathematical techniques and statistical methods.
  2. Use a variety of technologies to analyze quantitative problems and draw appropriate conclusions.
  3. Employ critical thinking strategies, such as quantitative, qualitative, and scientific reasoning, to analyze consequences and outcomes and determine logical solutions.
  4. Communicate methodologies and analyses effectively for diverse professional contexts.
  5. Employ ethical principles required of analysts and programmers.

Data Science Concentration Competencies

  1. Transform data into visual forms that clearly “tells a story” to the end-user.
  2. Use data and appropriate analytic techniques to select and create models to make predictions and inform decision-making.
  3. Demonstrate proficiency in the use of data visualization software to analyze problems.
  4. Develop fluency in the theory and best practices of using visual means to explore, draw insights from, and communicate the meaning of data.

Computational Mathematics Concentration Competencies
