Mathematical sciences is an integral part of the strong liberal arts tradition at the University of New England. We believe a student's education is enriched by studying mathematics, and our courses support the Nor’easter Core Curriculum. Our Applied Mathematics major and minor programs provide a solid foundation in contemporary mathematics which prepares students to pursue further study and careers in the mathematical sciences and other quantitative and analytical fields. The Computer Science and Data Analytics faculty mentor student research and are active in original scholarship. Through consulting and research collaborations, we are a resource for students and faculty across the University.

The Bachelor of Science with a major in Applied Mathematics provides a well-rounded, liberal arts-based education focused on the application of the mathematical sciences for inquiry and problem-solving. The program places emphasis on mathematical modeling and statistical methods, and project-based approaches. The curriculum integrates computational and theoretical approaches to enable students to experience both the power and the beauty of mathematics for problem-solving and exploration. This major gives students the quantitative and analytical skills to support careers in the sciences, business, finance, health, government, and many other fields. The program also prepares students for advanced study in the applied mathematical sciences. Students interested in a double major will find Applied Mathematics to be an excellent complement to majors in the natural sciences and other fields, as many fields continue to experience an increasing reliance on mathematics.

Please note: While some courses can fulfill both core and program requirements, the credits earned do not count twice towards the minimum total required credits for the degree.

Students wishing to pursue teacher certification in Math can complete a double major with Applied Mathematics and Middle and Secondary Education or a major in Middle and Secondary Education and a concentration in Applied Mathematics. For more information, see the Middle and Secondary Education catalog page.

Students in this major can participate in the pre-health graduate school preparation tracks.

Students completing the Applied Mathematics major will:

• Use mathematical reasoning, modeling, and statistical methods to explore, represent, and communicate about quantitative relationships
• Apply quantitative methods to solve problems in a variety of disciplines
• Develop proficiency with algebraic and computational software to investigate mathematical concepts and applications
• Prepare mathematical documents for dissemination in written and presentation formats
• Gain analytic and technological skills to support careers in mathematics and related areas, as well as graduate and professional study

Courses previously completed at another accredited college can be transferred to this degree program.

Transferred mathematics courses must be reasonably close in scope and content to the mathematics courses offered at É«ÏãÊÓƵ in order to count as exact equivalents. Otherwise, they will transfer as general electives.

All science/math courses previously completed must be no older than five (5) years.
